Microsoft Announces Availability of Windows 7 Beta and Windows Live

[redhat]

Anyone, any options for alternative ways to download this? Since I will not be able to get through to the first 2.5million users since i will be away

Can I triple boot this with Ubuntu/XP? ie. Will GRUB recognize Win7?

 

[sankha]

Will this Windows 7 not be another Vista??? I have to check it before using it.

If GRUB recognizes Windows Vista, then it will recognize Windows 7

Try booting Windows XP. It gave me a "NTLDR missing" error.

I wrote something about Windows 7, have a look at my blog : The herald of Windows 7

Nice blogpost dude, although i would remove the ghazni pic containing the hallmark of famous ripper group(XDR) from bwtorrents

But your choice in end

I've got a really stupid/n00bish doubt.
Where is the download option for Win 7 on MS's web site?

Is it available for download?
I see nothing on Windows-7 page, it should be here by now!

^^the webpage says "Come back the afternoon of January 9." So probably have to wait some more time. Its still morning there.

Where do I need to register to get the key:

I already have "hotmail" id...will that work ???

2000 hrs GMT is the time if I am not wrong.

I m using 7000 from almost a week....feels like more stable then Vista SP1 ....haha

How large will the download file be? If it's too big then I hope someone downloads it and splits it into 100 MB files and uploads it on Rapidshare. Cause neither will I get to be one of the first 2.5M downloaders nor will I be able to download one massive file spanning several gigabytes at one shot.

 

[gxsaurav]

2.5 GB for 32bit ISO

lol Microsoft's server is struggling. Why can't they just put that damn thing on a torrent and 3rd party download servers and let ppl leach..

 

[sachin_kothari]

^^that way they wont be able to limit to a certain no. of users

 

[amitava82]

And why would they want to do that? more users = more bug report.. :\

 

[krazzy]

But I just don't understand why the limit exists in the first place.

 

[amitava82]

I think it's just because of bandwidth..
