This is really interesting...
It does make complete sense and it completely threw me
off. It would probably be very popular because of all
of the gossip and whatnot about Windows 7. I myself
can't say anything about Windows 7 yet because at the
moment I still have the .iso of 7 downloading using
the direct-link method (thanks NeoWin!)... Still need
to wait for a key though...

But this is very interesting. Depending on how well
the beta works, and I expect it to work great because
of what I've heard and the fact that my computer is
only just over a year old...

Thanks for the info! Can't wait to hear what everyone
else has to say about this.
