Free Windows 7 Beta Download Extended 2 Weeks

On Microsoft Windows 7’s public beta release timeframe of “afternoon” on Friday last week, Windows 7 was no where to be found. Citing server problems handling the huge number of people trying to download Windows 7 beta to try for free for the first time, Microsofts servers provided a less than ideal download experience. We personally weren’t able to secure the download until Saturday morning when the download was finally available. No word on whether the 2.5 million download cap was hit and no matter. To compensate for the delayed release, Microsoft has chosen to lift the 2.5 million download cap and extend the Windows 7 download for another two weeks until January 24. So if you didn’t get a chance to see what Windows 7 was about, you have two weeks to do so. The download was a 2.44 GB iso file that needs to be burned to DVD.
From Microsoft’s blog:
Due to an enormous surge in demand, the download experience was not ideal so we listened and took the necessary steps to ensure a good experience. We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit
