Windows 7: Public Beta Goes Live Today
(Follow me on Twitter: msftkitchen)
Yes, you can finally obtain Windows 7 via legit avenues! Yaaaay! Good luck getting through to the site when it goes live, though, as I’m sure it will come to a crawl with all the users who will be hitting it. Only 2.5 million people will be accepted to download the public beta, so don’t wait! I know that’s a large number, but it’ll go much quicker than you think. Public downloads aren’t available yet, but keep your eyes peeled on the official Windows 7 product site. Word is, downloads will go live this afternoon, pacific standard time (GMT-8).

UPDATE: Many thanks to Imran Hussain for letting me know that the Community Technology Preview (CTP) Beta 1 build is already available on TechNet! Link: Giggity
UPDATE 2: lol. Looks like they pulled it from TechNet for now. I get an error after going through the sign in process for downloading the x64 build.
