As far as I know, Windows 7 Beta is not publicly available.

To the OP:

The public beta of Windows 7 has not been released - at least not officially.

Read this article.

Regards.

OMG, I can't believe they are going to offer another operating system so soon.

I use Vista with Parallels and I am not thrilled by it at all. I liked Windows XP.

I see how to get it, but I'm not going to be a guinea pig. It took me days, literally, to get that darn thing (Vista) up and running correctly on my network.

I can't even get Adobe Reader to work with Vista. Fortunately my Mac jumps in and takes over for that.

Wasn't Vista suppose to be what XP wasn't?
