Ive never installed a beta for on OS. So Im kinda scared since Ive also never backed up my PC/HDD. =/

I wanna try Win7 bad but not tech savy enough to mess with an OS like this...yet =(

 

Download Sun VirtualBox and run it in a virtual machine. Pretty easy to do and does not require any repartitioning. You can run Windows 7 just like an application on top of your current OS. I would recommend a dual core processor and 3GB of RAM for this.

You won't have the advanced 3-d features, but you at least get to try the beta without the hassles of reinstalling your main OS or repartitioning your hdd.
