thing are going on but what....? World Peace.

Nope, they just took it down to patch the servers for intense downloading XD.

It is currently being worked on.. Please be patience.Joe

This is the official Announcement."Due to very heavy traffic were seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and Ill be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!"

I don't understand why Microsoft is not using an official torrent for distribution!? Now those 2.5 million are slowing the downloads down too much.

Maybe because they would like to be sure that noone change the bits, for example includes a worm inside.
