For some its the thrill of trying something new
Some actually help MS out by BETA testing and reporting bugs to MS.
Some want to see how it will run on their current hardware, and whether an upgrade is necessary.

For example, i threw Windows7 onto my Eee900 to see it was an alternative other than running Linux and XP.....
And for those of you wondering, it ran really poorly on my Eee900 (celeron 900, SSD). It also lacked the proper drivers, and it drains batter like a mofo. It will probably fair a lot better on an Atom equipped EeePC.
