Windows 7 beta - 9th January

Duke · 10 Jan 2009 at 08:16

Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we’re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We’re sorry for the delay and we’ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.

Got Windows 7 installed and running (without key for now). Just about to use DriverCleaner to remove the ATI drivers before using the ones posted above.

Something is most definately broken on your end then, I'm redownloading again thanks to hegemon.

Try downloading an alternative browser and using that to download the ISO.

Guide to getting a key, take note of the comments on the bottom. The firefox Add-on is great if you dont want to hurt your fingers.

Appreciate the effort mate but the MS download servers are going great at the moment

, the problem we are having at the moment is getting a product key, the error message I posted above pertains to this.
