Microsoft extends free Windows 7 beta to Jan. 24
MCP Magazine | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Saturday extended the general availability of its free Windows 7 Beta trial offer through Jan. 24 and removed the cap on the number of downloads within that time. Previously, the company had said the offer was limited to the first 2.5 million downloads on Jan. 9.
A Windows blog on Jan. 9 had described high demand, causing Microsoft to add "some additional infrastructure support" to meet it. Microsoft had refused to say when the download offer would start on Jan. 9, causing many expressions of frustration on the Windows blog.
