zwei soporific Registered: 06/26/04 Posts: 2535	Apparently the public will be able to download a copy of the Windows 7 beta on Friday. Since I've got VMWare Fusion I think I'll try it out. Kinda cool how Windows has become "just another application" on a Mac _________________________ twitter

padmavyuha Trans Tomboy™ Registered: 09/03/03 Posts: 4918 Loc: Dawlish, Deepest Darkest Devon	So... is it Windows 7 because Win95/98 was really Win4, WinXP=Win5 and WinVista=Win6/Win666? What does that make WinME - WinSqrt-1? (How the hell do you get the square root symbol to display?)

Windows users were always amazed when I was right when I would ask them if they were using ME when they would tell me that they couldn't open a jpeg that I had sent them. _________________________
