The Windows 7 beta is now available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/. They are capping the number of beta downloads at 2.5 million. That may sound like a lot, but you'll need to move quick if you want to grab a copy of this.

If you're wondering what Windows 7 is, it's the next version of the Windows OS designed to replace the failure known as vista. It's basically Windows Vista with a couple new features and, most importantly, almost all the Vista annoyances and bugs removed.
