One person who managed to get via mentioned there is a message on the web site declaring the Beta code will be live “this afternoon” (no indication as to when that means, ET, PT or what). Yesterday, I heard Microsoft;s goal was to start allowing Windows seven Beta downloads as of 6 a.m. PT on January 9….Neowin and Ars Technica are both reporting the public can get their hands on the public Windows 7 Beta via the TechNet hyperlink.
