Windows 7 Beta Screenshots Leaked

Slatterz writes "Screenshots of what is said to be the next version of Microsoft's Windows operating system have been leaked onto the internet. The ThinkNext.net blog posted a range of screenshots over the weekend which it said represents Windows 7. Overall, the screenshots show a distinctly Vista-like interface, but there is still plenty of time for tweaks and changes to take place."

Re:*Yawn*, I think I'll stick with Ubuntu.

It true. 512meg is enough for light use. My partner's laptop is still at default spec, and it works fine for her, and the botnet shes part of (loves those toolbars) ;)

I use mine (same model - bottom end lenovo 3000) for development (VS, etc) - 4 gig ram though - about $80 AUD. The only downside is the shitty hitachi hard drive - terrible performance there, but superfetch does help.

These are bottom end $500 laptops, so its hard to imagine how cheap an equivalent desktop would be. ($250??) If you can't afford the hardware to run the OS - then, frankly, you aren't in the target market.
