Hey, actually i have3 questionsA: Why is downloading Windows 7 Beta no longer availabe on Microsoft website? i just would like to know the technical reason.B: Since its not availabe to download from here anymore, i started to search google for it just to try itand give some opinions, But i have found alot and alot of versions like Build.7068, Build.7070 and 7085 which some ppl are saying its a fake one, no its a real one, i guess its not official one... etc.So i didnt know what to download and which is official and which is fakesomeone told me that the last official build for windows 7 is 7000 but someone else told me its 7068.So..what is the last official version of Microsoft Windows 7 Beta and where can i proceed?any official site for versions?C: Does it work fine with [Intel(R) 3.4GHz processor] [1GB RAM] [256MB Intel(R) GMA 3000Graphic Chip]?thnx

The Windows 7 Beta was removed from the Microsoft website because Microsoft currently have enough people testing it. That is the only reason.The 'official' Windows 7 beta version is 7000, all the other versions you see available are 'leaked' versions that may not be particularly stable. These builds are not supported on this newsgroup and we strongly recommend that you do not download them. Another public beta should be available towards the end of May so keep your eyes on this newsgroup to see when you can download the next available build.John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Associate Expert: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org;

thank you John_BarnettIcan see iam not lucky enough to download that build before it been removed, so is there any chance that i can download it somewhere?Will i be able to download the new buildfrom microsoftwhen its available or they done givin for free ^.^Greetings

The release candidate will be along soon - if Microsoft follows precedent, the Release Candidate will be available for download by the general public for testing. If you're paying attention to what's going on, you should be eligible to download the RC. The RC will only be available for a limited time (as wsa the Beta).

Yea i pay attention but i havnt been around long time ago thats why i missed windows 7Iusually check Microsoft.com for every new i need and i really felt sorry enough for losing windows 7 lol.Was there other "RC" Windows i didnt notice?thnx

No, you didn't miss anything official. The latest rumors (and, please keep in mind that these are rumors and innuendo, nothing official) are that the public RC will be released in late May. Again, nothing official, and this date may change. 10 grains of salt, that should be taken with. ;)<Was there other "RC" Windows i didnt notice?>Technically, builds after 7000 (the public beta) are Release Candidates. However, none is the RC. There is a difference.Since you're checking the Win7 site, you'll know when we do when that's released.[If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.

No... There hasn't been a Release Candidate as yet. But given Darien Hawk's post, and the post on Engineering Windows blog, it sounds like it will be coming VERY soon.
