I have been offered a copy of the new version of Windows should I install it?

Yikes! who offered it to you?

First, Windows 7 is still in beta. That means it’s being tested. Do you really want to be Microsoft’s crash test dummy? 

Second, if someone is claiming your getting the latest and greatest cheap or for free then they are trying to trick you. There’s a good chance whatever they are offering you is either defective or infected with a virus or spyware.

Our recommendation is not to install Windows 7 unless you are a serious computer user who understands the limitations of beta software.

You should avoid this generous offer.
