Windows 7 Beta 1 Leaked

Guess it is nigh impossible for companies to guard their products jealously before they are ready for an official realease these days – case in point, Microsoft’s Windows 7 Beta 1 is already leaked, and enterprising folks can get a copy on BitTorrent if they want to. The beta was originally scheduled to be released sometime in the middle of next month, but early birds benefitting from Torrent downloads will get a 2 week head start or so. The beta itself will expire on July 1, 2009, and folks who have tried it out claim that it is a wee bit more stable compared to previous iterations – hey, that’s to be expected, right?
