Many Tech News pixels were devoted to the announcement that on January 9, 2009, Windows 7 Beta would be available to the public from the Microsoft website.
This is one announcement that may leave both the Tech Savvy and the Tech Not-So-Savvy to ask the same question:
"Whats the big deal?"
In the Tech world free access to a Beta (or "not-quite-finished-yet") version of software is commonplace. In fact the new trend in software is to have a basic level of software freely available to everyone. The big deal in Microsoft's case is they get it. Vista was a mistake; it was rushed to market, and they are, in essence, apologising - asking us to come back.
I am excited to try W7.
