Build 7000 is amazing but is not very different from the build 6956. As of yet i have not found any major changes, but there may be a couple underlying changes in the code structure. And yes there is a way to activate the beta version.

Also, it's more stable, has less driver errors, is not a daily build (Which means it can be updated through Windows Updates) and has been optimized again in the boot area.

Great stuff Kyle! ;) I'm sure we'll start to get some interesting reviews now... I'll have to see if I can get it when I'm off work, hopefully MS hasn't ruined it yet... :)

I do really like the upcoming version of windows. Windows vista was a disaster slow and unreliable.
Am looking forward for windows 7 final
