Re: Windows 7 (formerly known as Blackcomb and Vienna)
Posted: 01-10-2009, 01:30 AM
The Beta was only up for about 15 minutes and then MicroShifty took it
down; supposedly to add more servers, but I heard that the Beta was only
supposed to be put out to those who had top-level subscriptions to the
TechNet system.

Somebody SCREWED us!

Oh, c'mon... I downloaded the beta yesterday at around 1400 eastern. From
the public site. You seem pretty impatient for someone who confers the
nickname 'MicroShifty" on a company from which you want to download free
software. Yah, you were screwed royally. Totally, dude.

Well, you can download free software (including operating systems) from
many other companies, and that doesn't make them any more special.
Mozilla, Opera, Canonical, Red Hat, Novell and others are examples

Nevertheless, saying "MicroShifty" is kind of unpolite, I agree.
