Windows 7 Pre-Beta Leaked

Microsoft had recently released the Pre-Beta version of Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system to developers at the Professional Developers Conference, But it was leaked and was easily available on some of the popular BitTorrent sites like Mininova and Isohunt.

I also got a similar copy from mininova and tried it on my PC. It is broadly based on the previous version Vista, with a improved taskbar.  I found it just as slow as the Vista.

Overall, I'm extremely disappointed with Windows 7 till now.

I'll try it for some more days and then give my final verdict, but for now XP is still the best OS from Microsoft.

Have a look at some Screenshots which i had taken :

Yahoo! Cricket beta site

Here is the good news for all cricket lovers. Yahoo! cricket beta portal launched a couple of weeks back in its beta version. This means a lot to all those who stay glued to their office computers for live cricket score updates. Probably cricinfo has been handling all the load from netizens all over the world till date. Now Yahoo! has geared up to share that load without having to compromise on the presentation.

New Beta cricket site looks very promising to me with appealing user interface and the ease of finding all the info in one tab. Whenever there is an international cricket match in progress, tabs at the top show up an additional highlighted ‘live’ tab. If there are multiple matches in progress, user gets to access each match on individual sub-tabs. Further, one has the options to find live commentary, full score card and past few overs progress etc., all in one screen without having to click on multiple tabs for information. You may find a handful of bugs here and there as it is still in beta. Other than that, I am sure you will be a fan of this site in the long run.
