Matthew Dillon: With tons of hype and a multitude of screen shots being posted, I was eager to get some hands-on time with the Windows 7 public beta. I decided to see how much damage would be done to my old Celeron desktop with a fresh install. Although my desktop is not a mobile device, I wanted to see how Windows 7 would perform as I traditionally use this computer as a central hub for filesharing within my home network. I was doubtful that I could even get the public beta to install because of the computer’s low specs, but the successful reports of Windows 7 on numerous netbooks kept me optimistic.
