Finally after 2,5 year Windows Vista was released I can say “WOW” with the first public beta of Windows 7. The installation process went smooth. I installed one VM and two physical machines. The setup went fine on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M57 and on my ASUS home system. I am looking forward to see the latest version released.

What’s new in Windows 7?

• Improved taskbar and full-screen previews
• Jump Lists
• New ways to work with Windows
• Internet Explorer 8
• Windows Live
• Better device management
• HomeGroup
• Faster, more responsive performance
• Extended battery life
• Theme packages reflect your style
• Take control of problems
• Share music and videos
• Windows Touch
• Handwriting recognition additions
• AppLocker
• Bitlocker with enhanced usb encryption

If you hadn’t download Windows 7 Beta than I suggest browsing to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx and get the bits. Anyway I wanted to share my first experience with installing and playing with VMWare Workstation Version: 6.5.1 Build: 126130. It’s simple as it should. Plug and play 😉

The installation went smooth and in minutes I was able to run my VMs without hassle.
