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.

One on the side blowing in and one in the back blowing out.
As stated before it is only if you have received AN INVITATION to be a beta tester for WINDOWS 7, no other piddly little beta testing will do.

You will not be getting any Windows 7 for free, make peace with it.

IOW suck it up!:roflmao:

I'm not too ticked about this. I have other ways of getting discounts, heheheh...

Still, it would be nice if all testers got a free copy. We helped test Windows 7 too!
