Windows 7 (Trial)
On 9 January members of the public will get the chance to download the successor to Windows for themselves.
Windows 7 would be the pivot of a broader Microsoft push to improve the way its separate software and service families work together.
The minimum requirements for running Windows 7 are a PC with a 1 Ghz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16 GB of disk space, 128MB of video memory and support for DX9 graphics.
Some of the Windows 7’s features help it work with other devices.
A “home group†system makes it straightforward to enrol PCs, Xbox consoles, media servers and other gadgets into a local network that can share media and content.
As with Vista it also comes with anti-piracy features, where your machine crashes when installing peer 2 peer software or torrent software, also this new version enables tracking.
Microsoft know their stuff.
Hopefully when released in full it will not be riddled with bugs 
have fun! magic
