Microsoft, just a short while ago, dropped a press release announcing the availability of the Windows 7 beta program. In the release, Ballmer states that the beta program will open up to the public on Friday and users can download a test version of Microsoft’s next OS at that time. MSDN and TechNet subscribers can allegedly download immediately.
And so it begins…
[Update] I just verified the availability of en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x86_x15-29073.iso on TechNet Plus and I’m downloading now. Looks as though Microsoft’s servers aren’t being hammered just quite yet. (Although, I have to admit, they did a remarkable job keeping everything up-and-running for the Vista beta program.)
