I know many of you have had issues with the Windows 7 Beta site over the last 24 hours. As you may have noticed the download site has been up and running smoothly since this morning. That said, we apologize for the inconvenience that it caused some of you.

 

Due to an enormous surge in demand, the download experience was not ideal so we listened and took the necessary steps to ensure a good experience. We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit.

I won't help as I don't have the hardware to run it.

Are you pointing out the MP3 files having the first part of the music cut, as mentioned in MSFN Forums?

Don't know what the MSFN forums mentioned since I don't go there. I was told several days ago about the MP3 corruption bug, and I just wanted people who are testing out the beta to know if they're using an unpatched version without the fix they could have issues, especially for those that don't update things.
