    Windows 7 testers to get a free copy on August 6


    Posted: 30 Jul 2009
    Last week, I blogged that members of the Windows Technical Beta Program would not be receiving a complimentary copy of Windows 7. Normally I hate to be wrong but in this case, I’m stoked that I am.

    To show our appreciation, members of the invitation-only Windows 7 Technical Beta Program will be eligible for a free, final copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. For more information on how to take advantage of this, refer to Paul’s post in the .Beta_Program newsgroup for details.

    Tell Paul that Brandon sent you - and be sure to thank him!

    If that is the case then a lot of people will get a free copy. So I doubt it.
