windows_7 Interested in trying out the bleeding edge of Windows?

If so then you want to download the Windows 7 beta, but do it fast as Microsoft is only allowing 2.5 million downloads of the new OS. If you have a TechNet or MSDN account you can get it already…as for the rank and file we all have to wait until tomorrow, Friday, January 9.

The following points are worth noting before you dedicate the time and bandwidth to downloading the software…

  • You’ll need to be upgrading from Vista SP1, so XP devotees (like myself) need not apply.
  • As this is a beta, do NOT run this as the sole OS on your sole PC. If you do, that’s your own problem.
  • The beta will expire in August, and then you’ll have to buy a copy of Windows OS, just like the rest of us.

By day a department manager and writer for a major network device vendor...by night Zealot stalks the mean magnetic streets, striking fear into the hearts of bandwidth abusers and theme park mascots. Zealot has been involved with mobile devices for more than a decade now, starting off with dumb phones, moving to PDAs and then to smartphones, notebooks and netbooks with the odd PMP thrown in. Most of his mobile time currently is spent on a Treo Pro, Zune HD, Thinkpad T61, HP Mini 311, iPod Touch 3G, iPad 16G or a Hackintoshed Compaq Mini 704. He proudly groks the Geek community and considers himself a Neo Maxi Zune Dweebie (thanks Wil Wheaton!).

      I’m definitely in a wait-and-see mode on this myself. XP just works too good.

      Unfortunately all servers are busy, though all the downloads are already done
