They moved it to Akamai later on, like most of there downloads, which is a bunch of Linux-servers. It would have been better if that was included in the newsitem. People would get a much better idea of what is really going on.

They MS, obviously were bad hurt with Vista and it’s huge fat footprint. All of my drivers work, and the test low end machine a 2.8 P4 with 1 GB runs acceptably for daily use.

MS doesn’t like torrents I suppose.

Java 6.11 runs fine. Yeah!!! FF 3.1 with the built in JAVA compiler runs great, as does chrome A2.

And now for a plug — I sure wish Sun would get back into the Workstation business. Especially software development workstations. Read that as the fastest monster compile box you can build. It’s painful to buy another to run Solaris builds. I can’t afford a server — sigh.

Ironic no? :-)

As your first commenter says, smells of marketing to me.

MicroSoft was not behind the leak of Windows 7 beta, the source code and the CDDL (license) was excluded.

They got yet another positive story about Windows 7 into the news cycle and all they had to do is limit the number of servers available for downloads.
