Is it here?

Well...it seems Microsoft is releaseing Windows 7.

There appears to be a beta, with the lable build 6519. Milestone 1.

Its avalible if you look.

I'm downloading it now, but its slow.

I dont know if a torrent has been released or not. But when I get this tested I'll let ya know.

Are you getting that from MSDN, or another source?

The staff are testing Milestone1 aswell and currently its identical to Vista in every way with two exceptions being 1: some new GUI colors and 2: being the new multiple-GPU manufacturer SLI modes...Unfortunately you will not see that functionality for years until Nvidia and ATI release compatible drivers.


IMHO its not worth testing or downloading untill there are some major changes.

Why wouuld you want to install something in very early stages and likely be broken? Plus I wouldnt trust a torrent as it could be fake.

...But to answer swarfega - Alpha and Beta testers give feedback on what works and what doesn't.

I mean, come on - do you realize just how many people were actually running beta releases of Longhorn?
