2.5 Million Only for Public Beta - starting new IT job, anyone still waiting?

I got up early, 5:00AM pacific, and it still wasn't ready.
One site had the windows 7 page as the place to be.

Now I found it a tech site but keep getting server busy. What are my chances? Are they still going to release on the windows 7 website? Am hoping that the article said FRI Afternoon, which just happened and it not being on the windows 7 site = good chance.

Anyone else still waiting?

Thanks,

Thanks - - okay, well then, this website I am talking about it techsite.windows.com - if you are registered, you can download direct from website - $249 for membership, they also provide a non member link but of course, site says, SERVER BUSY, try again later - so somehow, it's released NOW but in a very limited bandwidth.

Appreciate the feedback.

Maybe, but it wasn't like that a few minutes ago.

I guess the Micro 7 website will still be the place to go...

2.5 million, if it hasn't started yet, we should still have a chance.

I don't think so. That was just one website - the major 2.5 million release is supposed to be from windows and that hasn't happened yet.

You can download the ISO's from the following links and install without a key until the systems are back up

Windows 7 x86 (32bit)
Windows 7 x64 (64 bit)

No I was talking about the Windows site. And yeah I was also kidding.

Thanks but what do you mean until the systems are back up?

Won't we need a key to keep it going? Will this install without a key?

Thanks

Oh!

I guess I need more coffee. (grin).

Will this install, or any Windows 7 install, be able to install without BURNING a DVD?
Thanks

You can install it for 30 days without a key.

When Microsoft fix their servers you will be able to register for a key.

If the public beta is released at 15.00 pst , which was a time i read somewhere then that would be 23.00 here , might explain why nothing showed up on the windows 7 page

 

[linuzo]

Yep I would agree with you since they say it right on the main page.

"Over the past few years, you've asked us to make some changes to Windows. We listened closely. Now it's time to share an early look at how we've used your feedback. Windows 7 is faster, more reliable, and makes it easier to do what you want. Both the everyday things and the killer "is that really possible?" things. Dig into this site to see what's coming. Want to try the Beta? Come back the afternoon of January 9. And remember—this is just a preview. There's more to come."

Microsoft's Windows 7 Page.

Thanks - quick question. Is this the same as what will be released today from MS? ie. same build and are the keys limited to 2.5 million?

Thank you.

Hi Composer.

Yes it is.

I still think it is funny that everyone is trying to download the same release from microsoft that was leaked over a week ago. I just want to sign up to get key and be a part of the public testing as well.

It sounds easy but were talking about M$ here, with then nothing simple is easy.
