    Yeah I'm thinking along the same lines....

    I have the Build 7000 installed from the other day. Works fine but there is that mp3 problem - i have not actualyl plakyed any mp3's so not sure if tis affecting me. There is a fix apparently anyway. Not sure if its worth the hassle of getting the official beta with all this crap.

    This is a perfect example of why bittorrent as a file distibution protocol works.

    Indeed though I imagine that the site si down due to people trying to sign up for the beta. I doubt (hope!) that you don't actually download it from the same webserver :)

    Either way the leaked version is coming down at 1Mb/sec while the Windows site is unreachable.

    If you had the unoffical release with the mp3 you can just download this patch to bring it up to date.

    Getting a licence key is a different issue however.

    If you had a Vista beta key it may very well work with Windows 7 beta. It did for the build of 7 released at PDC a while back.

    Several threads on several sites indicate that this is in fact the case.
