If you are looking forward to see what next Windows OS has in store, you have only two weeks to download public beta in order to try out the software. Microsoft announced recently that they are killing beta download program on February 10th (the keys will be available until 12th).

“We are at a point where we have more than enough beta testers and feedback coming in to meet our engineering needs, so we are beginning to plan the end of general availability for Windows 7 Beta,” said Brandon LeBlanc, Microsoft’s in-house Windows blogger, in a post Friday.

Finished version of Windows 7 will be released in late 2009 or early 2010.

Many online Windows 7 reviews indicate a positive change in overall performance, speed and compatibility over Vista. It is clear that Windows 7 is targeting dissatisfied Vista users who at least tried Vista once and abounded it for XP. Version 7 is also optimized for use on laptops.

The best thing about the Windows 7 release is that it won’t require any drastic upgrades to computers used today to run Vista.
