Windows 7: How to Get in on the Limited Windows 7 Beta 1 Download
Ok, so I've hyped Windows 7 enough that you're interested in getting your hands a beta copy to check out just how much better it is, and as always I aim to please. The article linked above is from http://lifehacker.com/ and links to another site that has information on what you need to do and watch for to be one of the 2.5 million downloaders of the Windows 7 Beta 1. Yes, the public beta release is limited to 2.5 million downloads only.
So read the article and watch my blog for a post marking when Microsoft pops up the download/register link.
Also, update, the build version will be 7000(the current beta build floating around out there via torrent and other P2P means). The beta will expire around August, so you'll need to consider buying a copy of the full software or going back to Vista.
The beta supports upgrading directly from Vista SP1(wootness!), so if you don't have SP1 yet, get it from Microsoft now!
