Windows 7 Beta 1 download on January 5, 2009?

PDC attendees got the Windows 7 pre-beta build and, while MDC attendees appear to be the only group that will receive a physical copy of Windows 7 Beta 1, other Microsoft enthusiast groups will have access to Beta 1 via download. Testers are already being promised Beta 1 (download-only) in English, German, Japanese, and Arabic, with access starting sometime in early 2009. When I covered the fact that Microsoft sent out invites to potential testers, I gave January 5 as a possible date for the download. I don't entirely trust this source, but that same date seems to have shown up in other reports.
