alexp999 · Jan 9, 2009

Castiel · Jan 9, 2009

GSG-9 · Jan 9, 2009

...the public link for downloading Windows 7 (7000) and a key that we have all been waiting for for between 3 and 14 hours.
remember the public link is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ and it should be up right now according to the links above, although MS made no such promise, they just said afternoon, it could be a week, thats still afternoon on the 9th.

Oh, well I have confirmed the dl for my email. That is what i am using.

mdm-adph · Jan 9, 2009

12PM and... nothing.

btarunr · Jan 9, 2009

It will be a long, long day at the office for MS' servers. Since Win7 beta is legally free for public to download, past the time when it becomes officially available, I don't see why one can't get it via bit-torrent. You end up with the same thing. Just that the torrent will do it faster. Using HTTP servers could just be slow today.

Never got that far, yet.

Castiel · Jan 9, 2009

It will be a long day for me while I keep hitting F5.

So you cannot just download it from here ?

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx

Here's a link to the x86 version i believe.
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...00_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso

Some one post the 64bit one

But we need a key.

A Cheese Danish · Jan 9, 2009

Yeah, theres no way the link will get put up for the public server...

alexp999 · Jan 9, 2009

I could quite easily get the 64-bit install but without a key I either have to do something illegal or only use it for 30days, come on MS!!!!

mrhuggles · Jan 9, 2009

are we there yet?

Castiel · Jan 9, 2009

Ok, after hitting F5 for a long time, this is what I get for the Beta Key.

computerdeth · Jan 9, 2009

Heres the 64bit..about the key idk..you could install it and then activate it once you get a key?
64bit http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRE_EN_DVD.iso
