How is it? Is it worth installing on my vista PC? Can it be unnstalled?
Windows 7 Beta?
Well it's not really something that is "uninstalled"...you would most likely want to partition some of your harddrive to install 7 onto. Then when you want, you can just delete the partition and fix your boot manager.
If you don't really know how to do that stuff with full release OS's, I wouldn't recommend fooling with this beta yet. It's pretty cool, but nothing to get super excited about (so far, at least).
I don't recommend getting it if you don't have the technical know-how beforehand, but here goes.
The easiest way would be to use something like Gparted to reformat your drive, than burn the windows beta to DVD using Imgburn, than install the beta on your empty hard drive. If you don't want to kill your vista install, than use Gparted to resize your vista partition, and then make another NTFS partition to install the windows beta to, and that way you'll have a dual boot: pick vista or 7 when your comp boots up. This way, you can delete the 7 partition when you're done with it, and resize Vista to to cover your entire drive.
If that didn't make any sense, or if you absolutely can't risk losing anything on your Vista (and you don't back up), than don't try the beta. If you know what I'm talking about, then great, go for it. I'm using it as I type now and it's great... very few bugs and it's very stable.
I think I'm going to stay with XP for the time being. Until I'm forced to change I don't think I'm going to be commuting to a new Windows operating system.
