Microsoft Makes First Windows 7 Beta Public

so the download link is broken? I can only get 1KB of 32/64 bit iso. Should I try tomorrow?
 
Quick and slightly noobish question:

If I download the 64bit version from an "alternative" source, do the md5 and sha1 checksum guarantee it's authenticity (if they match M$'s ones obviously)?

I only ask because I've heard some of the the ones floating around torrent sites may be pre-loaded with malware.
 
Microsoft links are working for me- bouncing between 100k-240k/s, mostly over 200. I'm just using flashget to make sure I get top dl speed. (I only get 300k/s max on my connection)

Yeah I think I tipped everyone off so now every one is hitting the servers hard again sorry about that :P. I made sure I was atleast half way before I posted it. I noticed how after posting I was using flashget and getting it fine it got all quiet in here. LOL

run the GTAIV installation as Windows XP SP2 then you can install it and play it :)

i did that at the leaked beta from December 08 (last month).
 
Has anyone done a sucessful dual boot with Windows vista SP1 and Windows 7?
 
I doubt the torrents are malicious, but why bother when the dl from ms is so fast- I'm staying between 200-300k/s now, total looks like 5hrs and I'm at 63% already, I ditched my torrent dl.
 
Hmmm that method to get the key doesnt seem to be working... i guess microsoft removed it.

if u get and error just keep refresh your page, then you should get access, many says it's easier to get access to 64-bit page then the 32-bit.

But 64bit should working at 32bit too but not 100% confirmed yet and the same goes for 32bit key on 64bit.
 
ok i guess i will keep refreshing... do i need to have a subscription to the technet thing or whatever it is or can i just have a regular account?
 
still not getting a key

if u r logon at technet you should get this:


Error

The site is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please check back in the next business day.


then just F5 (refresh) your browser window, and it should be easiere to get hands on the 64bit key, that what all people says on the net but i can't confirm that 100% i think i just was lucky that i got a 64bit key instead of the 32bit but the keys should work on both Win 7 even that's either not 100% confirmed yet.

sorry to repeat myself alot but i just want help :)
 
A couple of screenshots from my install:

The whole install process took 17 minutes for me compared to 35-40 minutes with Vista

Are you using the direct link provided from micro$oft and if so are you using a download manager like flashget? I got it that way the first time I tried it. I hung using IE.
