WINDOWS 7 BETA HELP!? -

I heard that windows 7 was leaked onto torrent website. There is a rumor that the beta is only 30 days, is this true. Also do i have to install windows again after the beta finishes, it will delete all programs and files.

It was a first test version of Windows 7. Not too long after Microsoft had released a developer build of the Windows 7 Milestone 1 release to a select few, review and opinion pieces started to leak onto Windows enthusiast sites by OEM employees or their beneficiaries. Most have been verified as fake and removed, and while we haven t been able to verify for ourselves if indeed the milestone has been leaked to the pirating community. It is not a good idea to download 7 via torrent. Check http://news.softpedia.com/news/Whatever-...

This is a quote from Larry Seltzer on www.PCMag.com: quot;The first beta of Windows 7 is out - illegally on BitTorrent. Cool, right? You can get a copy and run it before you re supposed to. But that might be a mistake, especially if you re not careful. Turns out that it s impossible to apply security updates to the bootleg version, including the recent quot;out of bandquot; update for a seriously critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The torrented build was a daily build for the beta, and anyone who was supposed to have access to it has access to more recent builds which probably incorporate the fix. Microsoft has no good reason to release a patch for this version. So bootleg at your own peril.quot; Also, since this is a Beta, I d beta my boots you ll have to reinstall whatever you had on the machine after you re finished trying it out. Heck! I wouldn t trust any downgrade they claimed to provide. Those are the last things to be tested. Good luck.
