Understanding Windows 7’s ‘GodMode’
Windows 7’s so-called GodMode is actually a shortcut to accessing the operating system’s various control settings.

What You Should Expect from the Windows 7 Beta
If you haven’t already heard, the Windows 7 Public Beta is going to be released today through the Microsoft website, and the first 2.5 million people to register with Microsoft will receive access to the Beta 1 version. Today we’ll run through the features and what you should expect.
I’ve been using the beta for a couple of weeks, and yesterday I got my hands on the official Beta 1 release, which is good enough to use on a regular basis if it wasn’t for the hard cut-off date… yes, the beta release has an expiration date on August 1st 2009, after which it will stop working.
Fully Activate your copy of Windows7
The hack to get Windows 7 Beta product key should work occasionally to display a valid genuine and working beta key on screen, with the chance to generate the product key higher when the server load is not so busy, and with user keeps refreshing or reloading the getting activation product key page. However, the hack may not be necessary now, as unlimited activation key for Windows 7 Beta is now release.

Yes sir, the long awaited Windows 7 public beta download links are here.
So fire up your engines and start downloading. Remember the initial install only lasts for 30 days, but you can always extend it’s period by attaining the serial from Microsoft which is also free.
This extends it’s life to August 1st, so if you never got the chance to experience the wonders of Windows 7, now would be the time. (You can also disable the days limit with an activator….google is your friend)
Windows 7 PDC build 6801 Activation
For those of you who got their hands on the pdc build but have not yet activate Windows 7, I bring you a good news. Currently, there is only one way that you can activate your pre betas (no crack or patch available). You must use a legit key on the PDC DVD cover or any old vista beta/rc key to activate Win7. This method will work for up to 10 PCs per key. However, angelofdeath from keznews had a big discovery. He/she managed to find a same old vista beta key that was shipped to him/her and several other testers (in this case, his/her friends) and confirmed that it works for more than 10 PCs, possibly unlimited. The key is shared among keznewsers so I thought I could post it here so all of you windows enthusiastic can try Windows 7 without going through the rearm hassle. I confirmed it work on my friend’s laptop as of today. Good Luck. Please report back if it works for you.

Only thing is that the official name is also Windows 7 (ingenious idea, they getting smart), so now we know that the final version is going to be and there will be no name change. This is the first time Microsoft has named one of their operating systems according to the version number which other operating systems like Mac and Ubuntu.
