Several reviews of the Windows 7 beta popping up. El Reg concludes: "All told, this will likely be a strong release, as it needs to be after the Windows Vista experience, just do not expect miracles. This is Windows Vista with a new face, not a major new version of Windows." Ars reviewed the beta as well, and concludes: "All in all, Windows 7 is shaping up well. It's a far more modest release than Vista was, but it's no worse for that. The new OS introduces a compelling combination of welcome innovations and much-needed polish, and that's exactly what Microsoft needs right now. Vista's foundation was solid, and Windows 7 just makes it better."

I am a Mac user personally, but I had to install the beta in a virtual machine to check it out. First look is pretty good, I must say. It will be interesting to see how it evolves untill release.
I made a post in my blog with a lot of screenshots if anyone is interested in a look: http://thisismyblog.com/2009/01/13/windows-7-beta-in-photos/
