Microsoft is getting closer and closer to pulling off Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 public downloads. Announced in the kickoff keynote at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2009) in Las Vegas on January 7, Win 7 Beta went live on January 10, a day later than initially planned. At that time, Microsoft indicated that it was imposing a 2.5 million-download limit, but, faced with the volume of users crowding to grab the Beta bits, changed its tune and allowed for
unlimited downloads of Windows 7 public Beta for a couple of weeks. Well, the two weeks are up, and the day after tomorrow, January 24, 2009, Microsoft will discontinue the public downloads of Windows 7 Beta.
