For all of us who wasted our day camping in front of our PCs waiting for the new Windows 7 beta we’re someone annoyed and bemused by no appearance of the beta! Midday came and went but not beta! Many users were refreshing pages only to be greeted with “service unavailable” or just generally the plain Windows 7 Page. It appears that Microsoft Experience some tech issues – it just annoys us that they didn’t tell people that they’ve persponed it! Who knows when the beta will be released again!

In the meantime, you can download the ISO from techspot

Good news is that the new Windows 7 Calculator works on Windows Vista too, if it’s been ported or migrated to Windows Vista.

Windows Vista users who want to use the more advanced Calculator program from Windows 7 can download the following RAR archive which consists of calc.exe with its mui language file extracted from Windows 7 pre-beta build 6801.

To Run Windows 7 Calculator :

1. Simply unpack the content to another folder
2. Run the calc.exe to use the Windows 7 Calculator in Windows Vista.

To replace existing default Calculator program in Windows Vista :

1. Copy calc.exe to \Windows\System32\, and calc.exe.mui (in en-US folder) to \Windows\System32\en-US\ folder

Overwriting existing file (you may want to backup the old Calculator binaries first in case of error running Windows 7 version). Voila, now the new Windows 7 Calculator has been installed on Windows Vista.
