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 :).

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.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
