Re: Windows 7 Beta to be released worldwide on Friday
Well the downloads up at msdn but the serverload must be massive as it takes about 15 minutes to load the page. there will be only 2.5m keys issued. So we might never get a get but the rearm command will work to help you run it for 90 days. Im keen on testing but sounds like way too much effort. Cant even get a download started.

Re: Windows 7 Beta to be released worldwide on Friday
go get it NOW!!Ladies & gents, start your (2.5 million) downloads. The official Windows 7 Beta is ready for download at Microsoft's TechNet site.
It looks like downloading the 32- or 64-bit versions requires a Windows Live ID account, but you can sign up during the click-through process, of course. As you might expect, the servers are a bit bombed, and it looks like the official page we were all watching hasn't updated with a link yet.
Having trouble getting through to download? Check out tips on getting the download, and post any work-arounds/mirrors you find in the comments.

Re: Windows 7 Beta to be released worldwide on Friday
The servers are beyond over-loaded, been sitting waiting for over 15 min now for the page to load
Now I get "SERVER IS TO BUSY"

Anyone here managed to get it up and running and want to post pictures? I'm interested to see what it looks like
Re: Windows 7 Beta to be released worldwide on Friday
lol, M$ servers took much strain so they have removed the beta so that they can up their infrastructure. The link now says "coming soon"
Re: Windows 7 Beta to be released worldwide on Friday
lol... Got the 64 bit version
Busy installing it with VMWare... Was planning on a main install... Although I couldnt clear up my HDD to partition and dual boot with vista (to be safe, although it seems amazing... Its MS and still a BETA product).
Hey!! Look, it has pretty pictures in the background while installing. Dont recall Vista's being very nice...
Gave the VM 2GB of RAM and 20 GB of HDD space, lets see how it goes
If any of you want to get it from me, you are welcome to PM me and you can come over and get it with a portable HDD or something. I dont want to post it as I dont know when id be able to get to a post office.etc

Re: Windows 7 Beta to be released worldwide on Friday
DOHThanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we’re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We’re sorry for the delay and we’ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.
