With the backlash and failure of Vista, Windows is quickly moving to Windows 7.Â This OS is focused on correcting all the Vista short comings, while providing a faster operating system and speedy USB enumeration. However, upgrading or installing Windows 7 from a DVD takes a long time.Â You can speed up the process by putting the Windows 7 ISO file on a USB stick and install from there.

The guys at Think Computers, put together a nice tutorial.Â The USB tutorial covers the placement of Win7 on a custom USB flash drive, then doing a complete install from the UFD. Windows 7 is about 2.5GBs so make sure you have a 4GB flash drive before you think about starting this process. I read through the tutorial, it isn’t hard and not complicated.Â I’d give her a shot myself but I don’t have the luxury to devote a PC to this project.Â So I’m passing it along. Windows 7 is currently in Beta mode and available for Free to anyone willing to test her out. Source:Â Think Computers.
