A new post on the Windows Team Blog, followed by an announcement on the private Microsoft Connect newsgroups for TBT’s, confirms that Technical Beta Testers will indeed be getting a free copy of Windows 7 – there are even a limited number of boxed copies that testers can fight each other for opt in to try to get, as opposed to the strict download-only policy that Vista testers were presented with.
While some people still aren’t happy with the ‘new’ beta process, this will go a long way with a lot of testers. Cheers, Microsoft!
