Download Microsoft Windows 7 Beta

A couple of weeks ago, the Microsoft Windows 7 Beta Demo got leaked. One week ago, Jason wrote on the Microsoft Weblog that Windows 7 Beta is now available to Microsoft Partner Program.

On Jan 9, 2009, Microsoft Windows 7 Beta became available to all beta testers of the world with a catch that only 2.5 million complete downloads will be allowed (or something of that kind).

But now, unlimited number of people can download Windows 7 Beta from their website until 24th Jan, 2009 according to the Windows 7 Team blog.

If you want to try the beta software, be warned about the risks. Your computer could crash and you could lose important files. The Windows 7 Beta FAQ says that other risks are:

Software that doesn’t install or work correctly, including anti-virus or security programs
Printers, video cards, or other hardware that doesn’t work
Problems accessing corporate or home networks
Files may become corrupted

Beta testing is not recommended to everyone, especially not to beginners. Read the FAQ and the Release Notes if you are interested.
