Windows 7 beta 1 leaked, how to get it:

It’s been leaked and some things to consider when installing this is you need to have a lot of space. So how do you get this elusive beta:

• Rapidshare – Although I don’t know if this is the recent version it looks like it.  The problem with downloading these files are they are really big and it will take some time for you to download each and everypart.   You only can do 200 megs of download every 6 hours so it will take time.
• Torrents site like Isohunt – The only way you can get it is through website search and downloading the torrent file.   I don’t know how reliable it is.  I don’t think it is safe on all of these but I want people to see it and see if it works for you.

These are the only two that I could come up with the might work for people.   If someone knows of any others let me know.  Be warned downloading files from unknown sources might

let you get a virus.  It is always dangerous to download files from unkown sources so if you want to download it and put it on a virtual system that would be the best option.   I supply people with the tools I don’t link to anything that is illegal.     This is provided as is and you go to these sites on your own without any help from me.

Windows 7 Milestone 1 Leaked!

Many people have been wanting a copy of this so called elusive copy from PDC to test out and see where Microsoft is going.   Most developers are wanting to start to get into the stage of figuring out how they can get a step ahead of everyone else.   That being said, people have started to leak the Windows 7 on the Torrent sites.

We must assume Microsoft expected this and kinda wanted this to happen because when they gave this out they didn’t make it have any major copy protection.  Although we must not forget that there will be fakes out there and people are downloading this at a tramendous rate.  Most people will download it in under a day if you let it go!! I have not downloaded it because I am trying to get into the beta team for Windows 7 and don’t want to be to critical on the system.
