The general public will&amp;nbsp;have access to the Windows 7 Beta, on or&amp;nbsp;after Friday. Here's a link to the CES keynote: &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/ces/default.aspx" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/ces/default.aspx"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/ces/default.aspx&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
