Windows 7 beta out today?

[SMOKKINU]

I read somewhere Feb 27th MS was going to do another download of W7? am i wrong or no? lol

Not that I've heard. Apart from some announcements from Microsoft and the updates that came via Windows Update on Tuesday, there really isn't too much going on right now.

The next release of Windows 7 from M$ will most likely be the RC in April from the latest reports. Not saying it's absolutely true or isn't, that's just the supposed time they will release another build.

As the 7 team have, in the past few days, issued a blog that they are working on the bug feedback "We won’t be able to cover all the changes (as we’re still busy making them),", I doubt it is imminent.

actually if you connect to ms access you can still download the beta AFAIK.....
if you search for something "windows ecosystem" here you should be able to find it...

Was that for me???

 

[win7]

You can still get the beta in the ecosystem program @connect.microsoft.com is what he means. But there is no beta 2 today if thats what you are asking?

 

[davehc]

Who mentioned Windows Beta? Not I. I've had it for weeks.

how do you join this ecosystem program?

 

[win7]

To join the ecosystem thing use the search here as suggested above there is an invite code in a topic, or just google it if you can't find here.

Microsoft became aware of the Internet publication of the leaked code. I think they have left the door open, but , whilst / Home premium is still available for download, there are no keys. The Windows 7 Ultimate, with keys, may be still available. As it had been so widely released, I guess MS saw no point in closing it.

 

[darkassain]

no i was reffering to smokkingu davehc sorry for the misundestanding

 

[davehc]

No prob M8. It happens frequently when we are trying to post. Problem I've encountered a lot is that soemone else is posting about the same thing whilst I am typing. No solution I guess - just tolerance!

Home premium can still be activated with a little thought and process though

Hi SMOKKINU

From what I can see these look like valid .ISO files they need to be burned to a dvd or mounted in an ISO virtual drive program

Have a look here ... for options ...

Also you may want to have a look here for methods of including screenshots

The iso's you downloaded are for many countries, make sure to burn the one you need to disk.

 

[davehc]

You have Winzip configured as your ISO client. You need to use an iso program to burn those files to disk. There are several on the Web.
None of my business, I suppose, but are you a linguist?. I cannot see the point of wasting your time (and the server's) in downloading Japanese releases, or German if you are English.

 

[Chappy]

You want the CULXFRE_EN one for th English 64bit version.
Also, they have an .iso extension but like davehc says your WinZip program has taken over that extension but you don't use WinZip for this. No worries tho, your burning program will still see it as an ISO and make sure to make a Bootable DVD.

I could not get it to not DL all of them, but no worries, it only took about 1 hour to get it all, i downloaded from my schools network.
