First full beta of Windows 7 may (or may not) be handed out next Tuesday

**MIG-31** · Dec 3, 2008, 06:30 PM

As Microsoft's annual MSDN Developers' Conference nationwide tour begins next week, attendees will be among the first to receive a DVD of Windows 7 Beta 1, according to an online invitation the company posted yesterday.

Every year, Microsoft sends a handful of its most popular conference presenters on a nationwide tour, at special MSDN events that are usually held in small conference arenas or hotels, or sometimes rented movie theaters. Attendance is $99 for the one-day event, and with this tour, attendees are promised a big giveaway package that includes Windows 7 Beta 1.

It's actually incorrect. DVDs will not be ready until January. Attendees in Dec. will be mailed DVDs.

I am using the first beta relase of 7!

But really I think so far it's just like Vista even with the new super bar...

I just hope it gets better reviews than Vista, but so far I will stick with Vista.
