To quote: quot; 9:21 PM EST Fri. Jan. 09, 2009 Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) has delayed the release of the first public beta of Windows 7 due to heavy traffic, and is working on putting more network infrastructure in place to support demand, according to a Friday afternoon post to The Windows Blog. Brandon LeBlanc, a communications manager on the Windows Client Communications Team, said Microsoft is delighted by the overwhelming interest and will post an update to the blog once the additional capacity has been added and Windows 7 Beta 1 is ready for public downloads. quot;We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live,quot; LeBlanc wrote. quot; The above from: http://www.crn.com/software/212701706 EDIT: I feel like saying you can always check the Pirate Bay, but of course no I don t advocate it for copyrighted material as a rule.
From Microsoft TechNet: quot;Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we’re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We’re sorry for the delay and we’ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.quot;
MS got hit with way too much demand (a lot more than expected), bogging down their servers; they took down the servers hosting it until they can provide a better way for everyone interested to be able to access it or the like. They don t have an ETA for when it will be available (at least check at least).
