Windows 7 2.5 million download restriction removed, 24th January deadline set
Microsoft has made a good move – they’ve removed their rather stupid 2.5 million downloads limit (it was actually keys, not downloads). This means that pretty much anyone who wants to get and try Windows 7 can. The new restriction is that you should get your copy of Windows 7 before the 24th of January. That’s a much more reasonable restriction.
You can get you copy of Windows 7 Beta 1 at the official windows 7 page.
It’d be really cool to have Microsoft let us know how many people actually downloaded keys, and how many of them activated windows 7 and are running it.
I’d highly recommend downloading it and trying it out. It’s very usable, and a lot of fun. The new taskbar is different and takes a little getting used to – however, it really speeds things up once you get the hang of it.
