Finally got my copy of Windows 7 this morning.  Installed it asap and I have to say one thing, its ready. Microsoft can take it out of beta anytime. Its a lot more polished then Vista was in its beta days.

I have installed it on my main computer and rendered some home videos on it and it was quite fast and stable.

I have got some spare keys for both Windows 7 64 and 32 bit, so if u need one, drop me a line.

This morning Microsoft's web servers fell to their knees under the pressure of enthusiasts trying to download Windows 7, yes I was one of them as well, no I couldn't get the beta copy, the download page kept timing out. Even the page for getting the evaluation keys was hammered and I couldn't get keys.

For a company that's pushing cloud computing and web services and trying so hard to prove that they're ready to move off the desktop and onto the web, today's Windows 7 mess proves Microsoft is still needs to work out about how to do stuff online to be taken seriously.
They could have looked at Ubuntu who are always seeding a torrent of their main distro.

So even the biggest and the best do get it wrong sometimes.

Windows 7 goes to public beta today. I will be installing it on one of my laptops asap. Here is a link for those who are looking for it.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that the Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1st, 2009
