You know what would be awesome? If the beta testers got a free Windows 7.
They do have some such promotions...

For instance, they typically give free copies to a few random testers as well as those who provided the most/best feedback. There are also occasionally viral marketing campaigns where they give away free copies to the first XXX people who sign up.

The beta period has ended and as such Windows 7 Beta is no longer available.
John
P.S. Such torrents are not fine: They are illegal and all discussion of them is prohibited here.
And on addition

Torrenting also increases the risk of doing serious damage to your system.

I just checked out the Windows 7 FAQs and there was "Am I going to get a free copy of Windows 7 for participating in the BETA realease"
And the answer was "sorry, no"
Right...

In reply to: aw by FrankQC
That is a standard FAQ with each release--prevents the millions of people from thinking they'll receive a free copy just for downloading the beta. But Microsoft still holds giveaways with most releases, giving away a handful of licenses and, in the case of Windows Vista Business/Office 2007 Pro, several thousand.

Yes, I am a Microsoft MVP and yes, I receive a multitude of their newsletters, but unfortunately they are mostly fluff; the newsletters are mostly introductory information combined with advertisements. Any news is almost always publicized elsewhere days or weeks before it hits the newsletters.
Best bet: Watch news headlines from sites such as Cnet's own News.com, as well as others such as Engadget.com and Neowin.net, and look for stickies at the top of this forum. That will provide the latest news the general public is interested in without delay and with limited fluff.
