Story on Computerworld.com now: Quote: January 9, 2009 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. postponed the roll-out of the Windows 7 beta today, citing "very heavy traffic" on its Web site.
The company did not offer a new schedule for delivering the beta of its newest operating system.
"Due to very heavy traffic we're seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to Microsoft.com properties before we post the public Beta today," a spokeswoman said in an instant message reply to earlier questions about the Microsoft.com's performance. "We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the Beta." More: Microsoft postpones Windows 7 public beta | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 |
