So the beta of Windows 7 was released today (20090109), however if you were lucky enough to get a product key for it consider yourself one of the lucky ones. I downloaded the operating system several hours ago, however the site https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/productkeys/win7-32/enus/default.aspx is constantly saying "The site is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please check back in the next business day.".
Two issues with that: (1) Today is Friday, so the next business day won't be for a few days, and (2) Microsoft is ONLY giving product keys out to the first 2.5 million people that can get in and snag a key. You must have a Windows Live logon or something and can use http://profile.microsoft.com to sign on. Once you do that, open a new tab and put in the URL above. Keep hitting refresh and hopefully you'll get a key. I've been trying for hours sadly. :-(
