Windows 7 beta - 9th January

[knowledge123]

I `ve managed to download the ISO file to my hard drive. Please forgive my ignorance, but can someone walk me through how to get the required installation files burnt to a dvd/rw. Thanks!

Use deepburner. Select 'burn iso' when it starts up, click 'next' and select the iso that you've got saved where it says 'image file', burn it and it should be good to go.

these links work: 32bit - 64bit

The 64bit link is nearly maxing my 50mb connection, getting a sweet 5.4MB/sec.

I had the link earlier at work for choosing the version, but now I can't find it

Not going to say anymore on the subject, other than that, microsoft have huge datacentres set up, just to keep track windows live messenger they would need plenty of servers, that doesn't include hotmail, photosynth windows update service and many, many more.

Maybe they limited the availability for Windows 7 beta so that, understandably, it doesn't interfere with these services

And as you said most of there infrastructure is in use for things with much more priority.

No need to ask twice, and you'd know if you actually read the thread. You can't get any keys at the moment until Microsoft update the page again.
