On January 9th, the Windows 7 Beta will be available for Windows enthusiasts to download via the Windows 7 page on Windows.com. The Windows 7 Beta is going to be available download-only and available for a limited time to the first 2.5 million people who download the beta. Also, another important thing to keep in mind is that the Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1st, 2009.
Windows 7 is basically Vista SP2 but since the word "vista" is giving peple nightmares they rebranded it as Windows 7. I'm using it as of now and so far it's great. They didn't put up a exact time when it will be available for public but somewhere around noon PST is the word.
Expect heavy traffic and server down and can't connect error messages. Well getting the key is the important thing. You don't need to download it right away since it might take a lot of time due to traffic. So try to register and get a key first. If you have a MSDN or Technet sub you can download right now.
