Windows 7 Beta Download to Shut In Three Courses By Feb 10 Except of course if you have an MSDN or TechNet subscription, you don't need to pay attention to the February deadline; you'll continue to have access to updated builds as the product winds its way towards release.
Microsoft announced Friday night that computer enthusiasts will have a while longer to get their hands on the beta version of Windows 7.
In a blog posting, Microsoft said that the test version of the operating system will be available for download through February 10. Previously, Microsoft had said that the OS would only be open through late this month.
The shutdown of general availability for the Windows 7 Beta will occur in 3 phases over the course of the next few weeks:
COURSE 1==Starting January 27th, the Windows 7 page will be updated with a warning that time is running out on downloading the Windows 7 Beta and that we will be limiting downloads shortly. People will be encouraged to register and start the download of the Windows 7 Beta sooner rather than later.
COURSE 2==February 10th, new downloads of the Windows 7 Beta will no longer be available. People who have already started their Windows 7 Beta download and have not yet finished will still be able to finish their download and are encouraged to do so.
COURSE 3==February 12th, people will no longer be able to complete their download of the Windows 7 Beta. Anyone who hasn’t finished downloading the Windows 7 Beta will be unable to do so.
Product keys for the Windows 7 Beta will continue to be available. So if you have the Windows 7 Beta but didn’t get a product key you will be able to do so even after February 12th.
MSDN and TechNet Subscribers will continue to have access to the Windows 7 Beta bits throughout the Windows 7 Beta phase. The above dates do not apply to MSDN and TechNet Subscribers. For More Go To;
