Visit the Microsoft Connect Windows 7 Beta newsgroups for up-to-date information on the availability of Windows 7 from Microsoft Connect.Carey Frisch

I dont know how to access the newsgroup. Should there be a link on the Windows Ecosystem connection? Please helpAli

Then what do i click on once I have logged in and back on the home screen?Ali

Authorized Windows 7 Beta Testers will have aYour Dashboard link to click on at the top left of the Connect Home Page.Carey Frisch

Now on my connections screen it says: Windows Ecosystem New items: no new items Programs WDK Beta for Win7 | Status: Participating ( quit ) Your Recent Activity Your Discussions No discussions available to display. Your Bugs No items available to display. Your Suggestions No items available to display. So what do i click then?Thanks so far Ali

The Windows Ecosystem Readiness Program is not the same as the Windows 7 Beta Program.Carey Frisch

Sorry Ali if I seemed rude in the other thread. That was not my intent.I am just as bewildered as you by the ambiguous terminology, that's all.

I though a beta was a beta... I mean why have more than one beta program?Im totaly confused. Ali

Apparently so. One qualifies for the freebie. The other one apparently does not.

I was kinda lookin forward to the freebie but i suppose the beta and RC were enjoyed.Ali

That's the spirit.

any chance of the download link?... only kiddinAli
