I don't understand why they have put a limit at all. This is the reason why all of us are trying to get a key ASAP, and hence their servers have been done for :S

they did it to have more fun! they are crappin in their pants laughin now!! suckers!

Due to very heavy traffic we’re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I’ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!

yeah the links work man. but we'll need to go somewhere to register for the keys. i don't know about you guys, but i'm seeying the future: a page taking loads of time to open, you fill in your infos and when you hit proceed...you get a busy server. you refresh...fill all the info again, and you do that eternally. am i predicting good the future?

Well that is why they made the pages say Windows 7 Beta Coming soon. Because they had a problem man with the way that the keys were being distributed. So they will update a new page or something or maybe just email all the people that were involved with Vista beta. That would be awesome.

 

[icoola77]

Yeah that would be awsome, I was in vista beta

 

[XxKOLOHExX]

The blog is also down now...

yeah they are being flooded! Stop hitting that damn F5 or we'll crash the whole Microsoft!

 

[scrooge]

thay should just open it up and let everyone get a key and be done with it.

D/L slowed to a crawl now - too many people on that link.

[Rothchild]

I'm pulling 1.5MB/sec on the download, so it's still going strong for me. 85%, yay!

 

[Brink]

I have both the 32-bit and 64-bit downloading at 199KB/Sec each for now.

 

[Airbot]

Now they made the "Windows 7 Beta" on this page Windows 7 Beta Customer Preview linkable to this page Welcome to Windows 7

 

[WinFan]

Hey all,

None of the links posted are working now; they just redirect to the windows site. The technet has changed to now just saying "Windows Beta coming soon" and a link to the windows 7 site which still says its due this afternoon.

Could you possible post the url's you are currently using to get the iso?

Cheers from a very frustrated person,
