The same info that the leaked builds

It's on Connect but not for me. I have not been invited this time... :(

So I will wait and see if I can download the 64bit version on friday.

Public download link will appear on: Windows 7 - Public Download

And here's the RSS feed with all the current up to date info!

I bet that for the public beta, Microsoft are going to limit total number of downloads - just like when Vista had it's public preview.

Of course, did you miss the part about MS capping it at 2.5 million downloads?

Since most of these posters in this subforum found their own 'creative' ways to get the beta, at least they wouldn't have to waste bandwidth redownloading the ISO again; instead they can get their own beta key.

But to be absolutely sure, I'll still download the ISO again and run a hash check.

This is the windows 7 Beta x64 iso that microsoft just put up for download for technet plus subscribers:

And the leaked windows 7 beta x64 iso that was out earlier today has the details as follows:

File Name: 7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

Size: 3387009024 bytes (3.15 GB)

MD5: 773fc9cc60338c612af716a2a14f177d

SHA-1: E09FDBC1CB3A92CF6CC872040FDAF65553AB62A5

The SHA-1 match in both cases, so its the same version build 7000

Can someone who is downloading - Windows 7 Beta (x64) - DVD (English)

en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x64_x15-29074.iso from technet.

Check the md5 and see if its the same as :

773fc9cc60338c612af716a2a14f177d

Yep. 773FC9CC60338C612AF716A2A14F177D

Ok, so this is the same despite the iso name being different. Gotcha. Not going to bother redownloading it again.
