Windows 7: try it out for free


Windows 7 will offer interface enhancements

Microsoft is now offering free, final version, trial edition of Windows 7 in both 32 bit and 64 editions. The catch? The trial is limited to 90 days and after that period, one has to erase the hard drive and either purchase Windows 7 or reinstall another edition of Windows. 

The trial edition is the Enterprise edition of Windows 7 which is aimed more for IT professionals and knowledgeable computer users.  It is not really recommended for casual users or anyone that needs keep their current OS. 

The trial version can offer many computer users that ability to try out Windows 7 and examine any potential compatibility problems that may arise.  It can also give a more accurate picture of the performance that one will have using Windows 7 versus other Windows versions. 

Before trying out the trial edition, backup all important files, and read about compatible software.  One might have trouble with anti virus software or other security programs.

Windows 7 Trial can be downloaded from Microsoft
