Would imagine it was done more for financial reasons. Even with Microsofts deep pockets they have to draw the line somewhere - Imagine 100 million people downloading a 3gig file! Costly bandwidth bill?

Its not out yet.
There isn't one yet - not till tonight. Exact time isn't known.
impossible to dl no, just have to persevere & be quick off the mark in getting a key. 2.5 million keys won't last long.

The F5`ers must be busy. The Windows 7 site itself is very, very slow.

Is there anyway I could have someones spare key if someone is lucky enough to get one. I don't think i'll be around tonight in time to get one? It'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I don't think they're all going to go overnight. I'd expect them to at least last the weekend.

Seems like the ms site is being hammered at the mo!
Which is worrying, meaning theres a large amount fo people with no sence. It clearly says come back this afternoon. For anyone in America its still morning, and anyone outside America should know its still morning there too.

I wish that they were a little more specific with the actual time it'll be released, it would ease up the current server load.
For anyone wishing to know the current time at MS HQ, clicky.

For about the 5th time this thread
Download Windows 7 Beta
Partners with a MSDN or TechNet subscription can download Windows 7 Beta now. All other partners can download Windows 7 Beta starting 9 January, 2009 at 12:00 PM Pacific Time.
in all honesty. i think everyone on this forum (who wants windows 7) will be able to get one. if not, nab a couple and share them round i guess.So that's 8pm for us. Now we just wait for the onslaught.
