Microsoft releases Window 7 public beta

Microsoft Corp. has posted the Windows 7 beta to its TechNet site for IT professionals, but it has not yet made the download available on the site set up for the general public.

The TechNet servers, however, have been overwhelmed by demand and are returning errors or refusing to load pages.

Around 11:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, Microsoft launched the beta on this page of Springboard Series, a section of TechNet dedicated to enterprise administrators and other IT workers.

Repeated attempts by Computerworld to download both the 32- and 64-bit English versions of the beta were stymied, however, by "Server is too busy" error messages or half-loaded pages that simply stalled.

problems in receiving email
Question: How to solve timeout and connection problems when try to check email
Answer:
  • There's a problem with your Anti Virus or Firewall - If you use them, try turning one or both off. If the errors stop then you've found the problem.
    • If your Anti Virus was the cause then turning it back on should solve the problem, remove and re-install the software if it doesn't.
    • If your Firewall was the cause, remove any rules relating to email and try again. If this doesn't help then you'll need to remove and re-install it.
