Couple of important notes:
- It only supports Windows Vista SP1 to Windows 7 upgrades. Not running Vista? What are you waiting for?
- The Windows 7 Beta will be only available in one edition, which is roughly equivalent the Ultimate edition of Windows Vista.
- Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1st, 2009
Let’s see if we can bring the internet to it’s knees on the 9th!
