Pick up a pre-release copy of Windows 7 for just a few thousand dollars
Want to get your hands on an early version of Windows 7, with its slightly tweaked user interface, Windows Media Player lite (pictured right), and shiny new calculator? No problem. Microsoft is giving pre-release copies of Windows 7 away.All you need to do is attend one of two Microsoft conferences in the next two months. You can either register fro the Professional Developer Conference in Los Angeles in late October or the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in LA in early November. Oh, did I mention that registration fees range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars?
Right, so odds are most of us aren't going to be able to take this opportunity to pick up a copy of Windows 7. But the fact that Microsoft is preparing to show it off and to make it more widely available is a pretty good indication that development of the next generation Windows operating system is coming along at a nice pace.

Or you can get it for free on Bit Torrent shortly after the conference is over.

Who wants to buy an half baked OS which will be crappy for $1000?
I'd rather use Ubuntu or buy a Mac!

Clearly you are missing the aim of this. It is for DEVELOPERS that would actually want to go out and develop software for the new OS.

I only buy half baked OSs.

I hate MACs. This OS will be a revolution when the full release is out.
So Bite me Apple Fanboys! YOU ARE GOING DOWN!
