How to download the Windows 7 Beta

1. Visit the Windows 7 Beta download page.
2. Choose your language.
3. Choose a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the Beta. To see if your computer can run a 64-bit version of Windows, in Performance Information and Tools (Start>Control Panel>Performance Information and Tools) click View and print details and then look under 64-bit capable. For more information that might help with your decision, see 32-bit and 64-bit Windows: Frequently Asked Questions.
4. Get a Windows 7 Beta product key. (You’ll need it later for installation.)
5. Download the Windows 7 Beta.

Im from europe to, is it true that 32 bit keys work on 64 and vice versa..??

AFAIK, yes.

It's handing out keys like candy now

Any difference between this build and the torrent one?

Then why do they give you a key for 32 bit and another for 64 if they can be used for either 32 or 64?

They must have brought more servers online - or else the bulk of folks started leaving and going home after work (it's 4:30 PM PST, timezone where M$ is located) and so traffic may also have eased up....
