If Microsoft’s server meltdown is any indication of the interest in the company’s new operating system, the we now that at least Microsoft’s Windows 7 marketing already works.
Microsoft released Windows 7 beta build 7000 to MSDN and TechNet subscribers yesterday and immediately run into issues with installation keys.
The company promised to make the same build available to the general public 24 hours later.
The decision to limit the public beta to 2.5 million users was a clever move that obviously ignited tremendous interest as many users waited with anticipation to test-drive the software.
But it wasn't just clever marketing that put Windows 7 on the map.
In fact, positive Windows 7 buzz has been floating around for months, slowly creating an avalanche.
If you just can not wait, here are the direct download links. Personally, I think Windows 7 will flop just like Vista, but never the less, here are the links ...
Direct Download Links: Windows 7 x86 (32bit) Windows 7 x64 (64 bit) The download will start immediately after you click on the link.
If you're having trouble, wait until later Friday afternoon and go to the official download site. The reason for the delay is that overwhelming demand for the beta is crushing the Microsoft servers, according to a post by Windows team.Labels: breaking news os9user windows 7 meltdown microsoft server beta build 7000 issue installation keys direct download link
