Reviewing the first beta of an important release like Windows 7 is never an easy job to do. A confouding factor is that many people have already made up their mind about Windows 7; not because they have tried it, but because it's a Microsoft product, and therefore it sucks. At OSNews we try to judge products by their own merits, not by the parent company that created it. Read on for a set of impressions regarding the Windows 7 beta.

And be faced with a modal messagebox "You can now safely remove Device xy..." (Dont know the exact english text....)
Btw, The most annoying Dialog-Box in Pre-7 Windows is by far the Font Installation Dialog box which was introduced in Windows 3.x (!!!!) and has never ever been changed since then!

Yea that line surprised me as well. I've used the safely remove hardware dialog on windows for years and I had no idea that it even was problematic, let alone "Windows' most awful dialog".
Thom, what made you think that of all the possible dialog boxes windows throws at you, that one deserved the "most awful" award?
