WOW! I wonder if I should. I think I'd rather let it be tested. So far, it looks like mostly everything works.

I was wondering the same thing.
Is it really worth buying right now?

I will wait till it is in the new computers as a clean install is always best.

If they make the OS free to beta testers such as myself, then I'll get it the first day. But, if I have to pay, i'll wait on it. An OS that could be just as bad as Vista isn't worth dropping the half benjamin just yet.

ok, but if you wait past 7/11, then if you do decide to get it, the cheapest version is goint to be $119. Or if you get a new computer, I just ordered my laptop for college, when Windows 7 comes out, i can upgrade for free.
