Expect Microsoft to make the official, sanctioned Windows 7 Beta 1 bits available to Connect testers, Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet subscribers for download some time after the CEO Steve Ballmer Consumer Electronics Show (CES) keynote begins (6:30 p.m. PT).

I can confirm that this is the exact build that has been on the torrents over the past weeks:

2008-12-26 19:28 2618793984 2618793984 aaba5a48 7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso

That was a report WinRAR made of the ISO I have of Windows 7 build 7000. It's exactly the same as rev23dev's.

Well, I have been running the 32bit version since xmas but cannot find the public beta download location.

I cannot find it on Technet, Techbeta and Connect :(

Is it a violation to publish the public download link here?

Right, Friday I hope to find a download link here: Windows 7 Public Beta

There is no public download link, do you have a technet subsription? It should be there.

Wait until Friday. Only selected people have got the download, and anyway, it's the exact same build which was leaked weeks ago.

    • MY sandisk ultra usb 3.0 256gb it only shows like 3.1gb

      By patrickft456 · Posted

      Hey Nick! 👋 No worries at all — you're not alone in this, and it's great you're asking for help. Let me walk you through a simple, step-by-step fix using the tool mentioned on that AOMEI Partition Assistant guide — it really does the trick for many people with this exact issue! ✅ Here’s how to restore your USB back to full 256GB on Windows 11: Download & Install AOMEI Partition Assistant Go to the link you shared: AOMEI Partition Assistant and click the Download Freeware button. Insert your USB stick (Sandisk Ultra 256GB) Make sure it's properly connected. Wait for the system to detect it. Launch AOMEI Partition Assistant Once open, you'll see all your connected drives listed. Locate your USB Drive Look for the one that says something like Disk X – Removable and shows only 3.1GB or so. Right-click on your USB Drive’s Partition Then select Delete Partition → confirm the deletion. Now, right-click on the unallocated space (it should now show full unallocated capacity) Choose Create Partition → format it as FAT32 or exFAT (recommended for larger drives) → click OK. Click “Apply” in the top left corner Then hit Proceed to execute the pending operations. Wait a bit... and boom! 🎉 Your USB should now be restored to its full 256GB capacity!

      When Facebook bought Beat Saber, they promised exactly this would never happen. Facebook can’t not lie.

    • Steam overlay's FPS counter gets major upgrade to show CPU and VRAM usage, temps, and more

      By Case_f · Posted

      Depends on what you mean by "this data". Nvidia can show you quite a few of those as well in their performance overlay, and I guess they might've assumed that if anyone wants to see more, they'll just use Afterburner as the de facto standard. As for real framerate vs framegen framerate, I don't think they exactly want you to know, given that their marketing has been strongly focused on hiding the real framerate and pretending the generated one is all that matters...
    • Redesigned Windows 11 Start menu: What users wanted and what Microsoft delivered

      By George P · Posted

      Yeah, but that never works out well. You can just give your power user more options and they'll be happy. Your new generation can just go with whatever you think is the best default.
