The same info that the leaked builds

It's on Connect but not for me. I have not been invited this time... :(

So I will wait and see if I can download the 64bit version on friday.

Public download link will appear on: Windows 7 - Public Download

And here's the RSS feed with all the current up to date info!

I bet that for the public beta, Microsoft are going to limit total number of downloads - just like when Vista had it's public preview.

Of course, did you miss the part about MS capping it at 2.5 million downloads?

Since most of these posters in this subforum found their own 'creative' ways to get the beta, at least they wouldn't have to waste bandwidth redownloading the ISO again; instead they can get their own beta key.

But to be absolutely sure, I'll still download the ISO again and run a hash check.

This is the windows 7 Beta x64 iso that microsoft just put up for download for technet plus subscribers:

654508-01-2009-4.33.jpg

And the leaked windows 7 beta x64 iso that was out earlier today has the details as follows:

File Name: 7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

Size: 3387009024 bytes (3.15 GB)

MD5: 773fc9cc60338c612af716a2a14f177d

SHA-1: E09FDBC1CB3A92CF6CC872040FDAF65553AB62A5

The SHA-1 match in both cases, so its the same version build 7000

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

Yep. 773FC9CC60338C612AF716A2A14F177D

Ok, so this is the same despite the iso name being different. Gotcha. Not going to bother redownloading it again.

    • 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.
