Windows 7 build 7000 preview

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-7-Beta-1-Build-7000-Installation-in-45-Screenshots-101080.shtml

I've used Windows 7 build 7000 on a laptop with Intel GMA 950 for a week now without shutting down.
I've also done countless suspends/sleeps on this laptop and it still works.
Under XP, after about 10 suspends, laptop will lose wireless service and will often lock up after waking up.
So far so good, performance on a Intel Core Duo is also top notch, a bit faster than XP actually. I don't mind using this as my production machine, if only I can get it not to expire on me.

Looks like Microsoft has a gem on their hands
But they can always fvck this up as they have done before...
We'll see...
