win7 beta available on msdn

[Altered_Soul]

From MSDN and Technet.

But you have to have a subscription to either of those and that will cost you some money. The free and open beta should be available tomorrow afternoon from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ (pretty vague on when exactly, but I expect Friday afternoon for the US west coast).

Thanks for the info, don't think I will pay for a subscription for it, I will wait for the limited release tomorrow. Hopefully I am home at the time and don't have to waste time DLing it at work.

Hopefully, 2.5 million people aren't going to be all over it for a Windows Beta.

Also, the .iso can be booted into a fresh partition correct? I don't need to upgrade Vista SP1, because I have XP Pro.
