Want Windows 7 Early? Gotta Go To Conference


Who isn't ready for Windows 7? That wiser, stabler, more streamlined OS with Vista's good looks but an even prettier Start button and an alleged 15-second boot time? Heck, even Bill Gates is excited to get on to the next version. You can get your hands on a "pre-beta" version of Windows 7 by attending the Professional Developer Conference (PDC) in LA October 27 to 30, or the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC), also in LA shortly after, from November 5 to 7. Go get them, and then report back to us with some new info.

15 second boot time? Care to back that up with a link? I think you're exagerating just a wee-little-bit!

About that link here's the one from Windows 7 development blog referring to the boot-up time:

"For Windows 7, a top goal is to significantly increase the number of systems that experience very good boot times. In the lab, a very good system is one that boots in under 15 seconds." - LOL! under 15sec - how cool is that?
