Windows 7 Public Beta download cause Microsoft’s servers overload

It was a big day for Microsoft yesterday, as they made Windows 7 beta available to the public. This free download was only available to 2.5 million users, and as a result caused Microsoft’s servers to overload. Those who tried to download a free copy were met with the message “ Server is too busy.”

Microsoft knew that the response to this download would be phenomenal, you would have thought that the software giant would have had a system in place to handle the extra demand. However later, Microsoft did say that they were adding more processors, a little too late for some.

There was a way that you could download Windows 7 beta Operating System, and that is by going directly to Microsoft servers. There you can choose the 32-bit ISO and 64-bit ISO versions, but you will not get an activation key. Windows 7 Beta Key: How to get it
