Microsoft lifts download limit on Windows 7 Beta
"Microsoft take unexpected decision to allow unlimited downloads of Windows 7 Beta for two weeks."
Published: 13th January 2009 | Source: Microsoft |
Windows 7 Beta is proving to be popular 
With 2.5 million copies initially available to download, the Windows 7 Beta was officially launched last week. Problems were soon encountered though, as demand for the Beta ended up putting so much strain on Microsoft's download servers that they crashed.
Microsoft responded to this by completely lifting the limits on how many copies are available for a period of two weeks. Once the two weeks have expired, the limits will be put back in place. This effectively means that anyone can download the Beta and obtain more than one product key during this time. Microsoft Windows communications manager Brandon LeBlanc said in the official Windows 7 blog on Saturday, 10th Jan:

I was just gonna say to ya that from what I've seen, it overclocks something chronic. The LN2 overclocks are with the core over 1GHz!!
What with there not likely to be anything major happening for at least 3 months, I might actually buy a waterblock for it and see how far it'll go on water.
