• Windows 7 Beta and keys on MSDN

    Posted on January 8, 2009 at 13:43 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    If you subscribe to MSDN, check the Subscriber Downloads section. You’ll find a copy of Windows 7 Beta available for download, as well as keys for validation.

    At this moment, my connection is running about 150 KB per second, but it’s bobbing up and down. Microsoft’s servers are clearly taking a hit. If you’re an MSDN subscriber, get your copy now.

    Everybody else will have to wait another 24 hours. Brandon LeBlanc has details on the Windows 7 blog.

    It looks like this is the same version – Build 7000 – that’s been circulating for the past week and a half. No word as yet on whether Microsoft has solved the Windows Media Player 12 MP3 zapping bug. [Update: The fix, KB 961367, is on the MSDN Subscriber download site.] But general consensus is that the Win 7 Beta is well worth installing, if you have a rather hefty spare computer sitting around. You can also run it dual-boot. I am. It’s easy.

    Does Microsoft have a winner in the wings? Could be. Watch here for running commentary.
