If you go to the windows technet plus here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/subscri....aspx?pv=36:350

You see the windows 7 beta links.

Now whats the difference between :

Windows 7 Beta (x64) - DVD (English)

en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x64_x15-29074.iso

and

Windows 7 Beta Checked Build (x64) - DVD (English)

en_windows_7_beta_checked_build_dvd_x64_x15-29064.iso

Whats Beta checked??

Also is this build 7000 or build 7015 or something else?

It's definitely on Connect. Got my keys, and both x64 and x86 flavors are downloading.

Guy asking about checked builds: Don't bother, unless you're a driver developer of some sort.

Driver developers use the checked build of Microsoft Windows to identify and diagnose operating-system-level problems. In the checked build:

• Many compiler optimizations are disabled to make it easier to understand disassembled machine instructions and trace problems.

• Many debugging checks are enabled to help identify internal inconsistencies and problems, including:

• Parameter validation checks

• Internal checks for operating system correctness and consistency

• Informational checks and tracing output, often documented in Microsoft Knowledge Base articles

Most checks in the checked build determine whether values in parameters or data structures are within anticipated typical ranges. Successfully debugging drivers with the checked build requires the developer to understand the reason for each failure that the checked build finds.

It's on connect for me, together with the keys. (Y)

Same for me! Ultimate showed up as "Windows 7 Beta Core Download Package (Contains Everything Most Participants Need)", including the mp3/media patch with it. Cool!

If you weren't already accepted into the technical beta program (listed as the "Windows 7 Beta Program" on Connect), via email invitation, you wont be finding it on Connect.

I guess that is the reason why I can't see it;)

2PM Microsoft time.

Thats going to be a long day:P

Anyway thanks for the info:)

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

When my download finishes I can verify MD5 and CRC. Please wait....

File sizes match...SHA1 is a match.... It appears the leaked torrent (3.15 gig) of X64 is a match. :)

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
