It's here, it's crippling Microsoft's servers, and you can get it if you're one of the first 2.5 million users.

"Server is too busy"
Well, I'm still going to try hitting F5 for about another 5 minutes and then probably give up. Sigh.

It's fine here, though was slow for an hour or so. Having said that, if the beta download is up yet, it's not obvious.
They did say Friday afternoon, but that being Seattle, I'd assume they mean afternoon Pacific time, and they didn't say when in the afternoon.

Link is up, just its a bit swamped...
Re: News - Windows 7 public beta now available to download
Got both Safari and Firefox attempting requests to the site. Got the page up, but server too busy and gets kicked out
Re: News - Windows 7 public beta now available to download
Hmmm, not sure the link is there yet. The MS Downloads site doesn't have it yet, and the http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ page still says to check back this afternoon. Any direct links to the download page yet?

Re: News - Windows 7 public beta now available to download
I have the 2008 R2 beta downloading from MS Download site http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en at the moment. Which is basically the server verison of Windows 7. So Windows 7 beta must be imminent

Link is up, though not (as far as I can see) on that page. I'm signed in for the download, but still get busy messages. I suspect it's probably a waste of time even trying now.
Re: News - Windows 7 public beta now available to download
You shouldn't need to sign in? Are you using the TechNet one or MSDN? I assumed they would release it to the Download site?
Edit: My bad, it is availbe for 'normo's' on TechNet. I really should read articles more thoroughly. :embarrassed:
