Judging from the download speed of the beta, a lot of Vista hating geeks are keen to see what the new version of Windows can do - or at least how well it does it.
Having now run the pre-beta version of Windows 7 on a test notebook for several months, I can truly say it outperforms Vista in many ways, even at this early stage. Its faster, less intrusive (e.g. fewer UAC prompts) and more intuitive.
Windows 7 might be "Vista R2", but I really hope MS see the light and drop the Vista brand name in the trashcan where it belongs.
