There was speculation that the public beta could lag behind by a week, but she has since updated her blog:

Update: Nope. It’s going to be sooner, not later. The latest word: The public beta of Win 7 client is due to hit Friday, January 9, according to a source familiar with Microsoft’s plans. The public beta of Win 7 Server is due to hit a day earlier, January 8, the source added.

edit: I could have sworn you said the 13th. Oh well. I've included the link to the blog post anyway :).

What about the laptop version? /endsarcasm

Oh well. 3 more days.. Cant be that bad...

lol Windows doesn't have a so called Laptop version, Windows 7 was designed to run on laptops better with better battery life etc etc

If you want a Laptop version you will be waiting along time, I said 13th for CES 2009, when anyone who participates that gets a Beta disc on the door.

anyone know if the public beta download will be limited (in numbers or time) or open to anyone and their grandmother's lolcat for a relatively long period of time?

Most likely it's up for grabs from anyone in January, then they'll charge $2.50 a pop for anyone else thereafter.

Similar thing happened with Office 2007 and Vista.

I hope MS will do that deal where you sign up and they ship the beta version to you for free like they did with MS Vista Beta's and Preview Beta's. I still have my copies lol Beta 1, Beta 2, RC and Preview :p i would never install them total driver failure lol instability

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
