CES 2009: Download Windows 7 Beta For Free on This Friday, January 9

At CES 2009, Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's excitable CEO, announced Windows 7 will be available to developers immediately, and to the general public on Friday, January 9. It would be the "best version of Windows ever" and pointed out features that implicitly acknowledged the problems with Windows Vista. They are putting in all the right ingredients -- simplicity, reliability and speed -- and working hard to get it right and to get it ready. Now, the time is up. To see how good Ballmer has showed of about Window 7 is true or not, at the afternoon of January 9, you come to Microsoft's site and download it for free.

Here is what I quote from Microsoft's site:

Windows 7

Over the past few years, you've asked us to make some changes to Windows. We listened closely. Now it's time to share an early look at how we've used your feedback. Windows 7 is faster, more reliable, and makes it easier to do what you want. Both the everyday things and the killer "is that really possible?" things. Dig into this site to see what's coming. Want to try the Beta? Come back the afternoon of January 9. And remember—this is just a preview. There's more to come.
