Windows 7 Beta 1 6.1.7000.0 - 7000.0.081212-1400 Screenshot and ISO Details

Microsoft has silently made available download of Windows 7 Beta 1 DVD ISO image to selected people, independent of the Windows 7 beta participation invite.

that Microsoft got it right after mixed reviews on previous keyboard / mouse combos. The Keyboard: The keyboard has the Comfort Curve design
keyboard that has a slight bend in the keys to make the feel of typing more comfortable to the user. The keyboard has a small 6 degree bend in the
design to help improve typing from the average angle of a users shoulder to keyboard.

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 Review
In four words, Microsoft describes their latest desktop mouse as comfortable, wireless, rechargeable, and extraordinary. Has Microsoft ever been
wrong?
Even the editors at ExtremeTech who prefer the horsepower of gaming mice couldn't help but humble themselves and like this
desktop rodent. They attribute much of the 7000's success to its comfortable design and long feature set (buttons, software hacks, etc.). Sadly,
the mouse is for righties only, so southpaws will still have to stick with their symmetrical mouse in the meantime.

Windows 7: Application Compatibility Testing -- Overview
Steven Sinofsky: Delivering a new release of Windows includes a major effort to insure that applications continue to function as well on the new
release as they have on the previous release. At the PDC we talked about some of the new areas of Windows Vista that reduced this level of
compatibility, such as changes we made around the OS security model. With Windows 7 we renewed our engineering efforts to maintain compatibility. As
with device testing, compatibility testing is an effort that spans the entire engineering organization, though we also have a group that is dedicated
to this effort. This post was authored by a set of folks and coordinated by Grant George, the corporate vice president for testing in the Windows
Experience team.

NY family has to pay the RIAA $7,000 after court case
The most loved organization in the world, the RIAA, has won a case against a New York family for illegally downloading music. The case was originally
filed against Patricia Santangelo, 46, a mother of five, who resides in Wappingers Falls, N.Y but was later dropped and re-filled against her two
sons. Rather than taking the settlement agreement the two sons and mother decided to fight the RIAA and nearly $15,000 was raised by online
sympathizers to help fight the industry. The result, nearly 4 years later, is that the family will have to pay $7000.00 for songs downloaded that
included "‘MMMBop' by Hanson and ‘Beat It' by Michael Jackson.

Windows 7: Not only faster than Vista, XP too
Instead of using benchmarking programs, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes from ZDNet put together 23 real-world scenarios to see which operating system would be
the quickest to complete all of the tasks.
He tested the 32-bit versions of Windows 7 build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400, Windows Vista SP1,
and Windows XP SP3. Two separate test machines were used:
An AMD Phenom 9700 2.4GHz system fitted with an ATI Radeon 3850 and 4GB of RAM
An Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2GHz fitted with an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS and 1GB of RAM
Neither of these computers is top of the
line, but Windows 7 managed to outperform both Vista and XP on both. Kingsley gave a 1 to the operating system that finished each test first, a 2 for
second place, and a 3 for third. Windows 7 scored 25 points on both systems, placing first in 21 tests, and second in two other ones. On the AMD
system, XP scored 61 points and Vista scored 52, while on the Intel system, XP scored 56 points and Vista scored 57.
