I have a feeling most of the people who read this blog are on the geekier side of things and as such are going to want to get their hands on the Windows 7 beta as soon as possible.  As reported last night, if you’re like me and don’t have an MSDN or Technet subscription that chance will come Friday the 9th.

The Windows Blog has some information that you may want to read before downloading the beta.  Here are some quick highlights:

• Downloading will be limited to the first 2.5 million people
• Win7 will be available by download only-no physical media
• The beta will expire on August 1st, 2009
• Supports upgrade from Vista SP1 only.

There’s a lot more info in the post which you can find here.  One thing I’m curious about however is what about those of us running the SP2 beta?  Can we do an upgrade as well or does SP2 need to be removed first? 

The beta will be available on Friday from the Windows 7 site.

Keep subscribed to Entertainment 2.0.  I’ll be installing Win7 beta on at least two machines in my home and I’ll keep you up to date on what I find!
