MS Offers Free Windows 7 Ultimate to Invitation-only Beta Testers
Posted 07/30/09 at 10:07:47 PM by Pulkit Chandna
Last week, Microsoft disappointed members of its invitation-only Windows 7 Technical Beta Program by announcing that they were not eligible for a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. But it has now made amends by announcing a complimentary copy of Windows 7 Ultimate for each one of them.
Microsoft will allow them to download the final build of Windows 7 Ultimate along with a key, beginning August 6, 2009. Those eligible can also opt for a boxed copy, however, such boxed copies are said to be limited in number. The complimentary boxed copies will become available after October 22, 2009.

yea!

Is microsoft trying to save money by offering Windows 7 in a Vista box? (he he) See, this proves that Windows 7 is nothing more than Vista corrected.

ZOMG! Its a plastic box with one rounded corner, they just repackaged vista! Give me a break. And to prove how much you fail, its not even the same box, the new packaging opens up like a CD/DVD case to make it easier for the thick skulled people like you to figure them out. Apparently a study showed that 50% of people that complained about how crappy vista was actually never used it, because they weren't smart enough to get the box open.
p.s. - If your post was an attempt at sarcasm it missed the mark :D
