Windows 7 Public Beta Download

[Gigabot]

wasn't me assclown, this is a great thread and it gives the members here a heads up on a windows beta everyone wants

I didn't even see jobs name till it was pointed out, gigabot did a good service to those who want this os before release

For a moment there I thought you were referring to someone as an "ass clown" but then I realized that the poster above had the username "assclown".

here ya go but good luck getting in que and then don't get all giddy when you get to the next page because it will still time out, they are getting slammed bigger then they imagined, I think the server will not slow down till all alotted downloads are accounted for, ms will in my opinion extend the download to save face but time will tell

I copied and pasted the x64 link but it brings up a "None" box. I think it got taken down now.

Takes you to the Windows site

paste link, then save as soon as the first box appears...

 

[Perris Calderon]

Takes you to the Windows site

the link I pasted works on all computers here, maybe you need to log into windows live or something like that to get there

 

[American Zombie]

You have to copy/paste into address bar or you will be redirected to the windows 7 site.
Maybe it only works with IE.
You also have to install an ActiveX control.
These are the direct links that perris link takes you to.
Just need that key...

@perris - With this method of downloading, we don't end up with a key do we?

Yea, that link is the main link, and once you choose your download, Server is to busy. Happens.

 

[ming]

Yeah, had to paste it in IE. FF takes you to Windows Website.

I see, a direct download is what you are talking about, now I get it

@perris - With this method of downloading, we don't end up with a key do we?

I imagine you do bman, it is an official beta, last time I beta'd I was given a permanent key

 

[American Zombie]
