Windows 7 Windows 7 Public Beta: January 9th

[Kyle]

It's official, Steve Ballmer has just announced that you can find the Windows 7 Ultimate Beta (Build 7000) on the Microsoft website as of January 9th. No information on how to get 7 Ultimate beta keys have been released yet, I'll keep you posted.

As for Technet and MSDN, they've got their Windows 7 Home Premium Beta downloads open NOW, if you have an account, get your key and/or ISO now.

If you hadn't noticed, I stated that MSDN and Technet get Home Premium, not Ultmate at this time.
So if you're looking for the full experience, wait until Friday.

(Thanks to iroken22, Engadget and my CES source "Dave" for the info)

if you got keys that's all you need. the survery isn't anything then just gathering some information about you.

you only need one key for both 32 and 64. there are 10 keys being used for 2.5million downloads.

 

[bitumen]

OK cool, thanks for reply

Correction; Twelve keys for 2.5 Million downloads.
And I have 11 of them

11?.. i only got 10.. and no more lol 5 from 64bit and 5 from 32bit

 

[Kyle]

well.. i can't get the other 2..

 

[Kyle]

Maybe they were MSDN/Technet only?
I'm not sure.
But I have them.

 

[Radenight]

Just curious but why the hell do you need all 12? If you already have 10 of the 12 and the 10 all work (which they do) then why MUST you have the other 2??

Only used two keys throughout my installs of windows 7 but have 10 . Should I feel deprived not having the other two

 

[bitumen]

Are the Beta keys still valid for the RC release or will they be reissued?

 

[MafiotuL]

New keys will be available on Microsoft's website as soon as RC is released (today, 5th may).

Anyone what time it will be released - still over 8½ hours away until 00:00 hours 5th May (I believe it will be based on Pacific Time in the US).

PS - the 1st clock is showing British Summer Time
