Forget about the leaked Windows 7 Build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400, as the official fully-fledged Beta of the next iteration of the Windows client is now available for download straight from Microsoft. In the opening keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show 2009 (CES 2009) in Las Vegas, Microsoft Chief Executive Office Steve Ballmer informed that the company had given Windows 7 Beta 1 downloads the green light. “I’m excited to announce that we are releasing the beta of Windows 7. Our TechNet and MSEN customers can get Windows 7 right now,” Ballmer stated. However, for the time being only TechNet Plus and MSDN subscribers can grab the Windows 7.
