The European Telecom operators should know that we, Internet subscribers, pay for our connection top Euros to be able to access sites like Google, Gmail or Youtube. Google is offering most of their services for free to their users and we, as clients of the Telecom companies, are already paying.

At least, Spain's Telefonica CEO demonstates he's just a parasite that doesn't know about what he's talking except getting more money from Google and their clients. If you understand the Spanish talked by a almost drunk man, you'll get the point watching this video:

Good luck with that, but I don't think it would be possible here.

When you install Windows 7 Beta 1 it clearly states that you _won't_ be able to upgrade from the Beta to the release version (RTM).
 
I think Microsoft doesn't want anyone to make this beta his primary OS.

XP machine asked me to reboot.

Vista machine didn't ask me to reboot.

In both machines update was applied with Internet Explorer closed.
