My Nintendo Wii has been gathering dust in a corner for months now, so I finally traded it in against a new Playstation 3. It plus a few quite old games got me an impressive 263 euros credit against the PS3.

I got the 64-bit Windows 7 beta yesterday and installed it on my main machine which I was planning to rebuild anyway, and I am quite pleased with it. It feels far more like a finished product than any of the Windows Vista beta releases did.

Microsoft’s site took a pounding yesterday and they pulled the beta release until they can organise some more bandwidth to keep things rolling.

I have all my usual stuff (Steam games, iTunes, etc) running very well indeed on it. The beta release is good until August 1st, when it expires.
