    I've been hearing about this for some time now, though not the beta release date. The software devs are gonna love this. Another Windows OS to program around. Let's face it. How many time has Microoft said, "This is the OS to end all OSs." Will it never end?

    Hello bunkerratt,

    Were you able to get a copy of windows 7. From what I read it was quite a zoo yesterday getting the program and getting a key.

    Well they finally re-opened the download a couple of hours ago, after trying and failing to get the download to start with firefox, I gave up and switched to IE 7 , and it started downloading straight away.
    I was getting around 1mbs download speed till it reached 50%, then it hit a brick wall and slowed to between 100kbs and 250kbs.
    I hate my erratic connection.....
