I got a copy of the [Windows 7](http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/?ref=kudithipudi.org) Beta copy from my colleague and installed it on my [Lenovo X61 tablet](http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68040.html?ref=kudithipudi.org). The install went through pretty smoothly and . upon booting up the computer, me and my colleague had the following conversation..

Colleague : Thats a Beta!!

Me : Yes.. it is Beta..

Colleague : No.. No.. that”s a beta!!

Me : Dude.. seriously.. it is Beta.. I know it..

Colleague : (almost smacking me on my head) No..that is a Beta Fish!!

Looks like a smart programmer (or marketing person) put the picture of a[ Beta fish](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta%5FFish?ref=kudithipudi.org) as the default background for Windows 7 Beta :-).. Here’s a screenshot.

Hopefully, Windows 7 will finally convince us [XP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows%5FXP?ref=kudithipudi.org) lovers to upgrade. Vista is a failed operating system as far as I am concerned. Not in the league of “[Windows Millenium](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows%5FMe?ref=kudithipudi.org)“, but it is going to be shoved away into the annals of history soon if Windows 7 delivers as promised.
