Actually only until March 1, 2010. Starting in march the system will shut down on you after 30 minutes of use with a message that the beta is about to expire.

Shutting down like it or not every 30 minutes will likely make most people quit using it.

I tried the Beta. It's ok. It really is just Vista on Crack.. But now that Vista seems to have most of their kinks worked out, I don't see much a difference.

All in all not a bad little OS, but.. Very few differences IMO.

there is very little difference, but looks like win7 is gonna be more SSD friendly, it will detect if you have an SSD and disable defrag/superprefetch/ and readyboost.

they also made changes to lower the frequency of writes and flushes on SSDs.

now how much realtime performance gain if any does any of that bring? I don't think much, for example disabling defrag and supreprefetch and readyboost will bring no performance gain what so ever, it might help the life of your SSD but with a life expectancy of 1,500,000 hours I don't see how it will matter.

all that is left is the changes they made to writes and flushes and what if any at all performance gain they bring.

but you have to love how they feed people BS, calling SSD optimization by the way of disabling superprefetch and readyboost is just funny as hell

SSD alignment, and the TRIM function will be most of the SSD optimization.
