    I’m trying out a new video format. Let me know if you like it. If you do, I’ll keep it, if you don’t I’ll switch back in later videos. This video covers the steps on how to download Windows 7 beta for testing purposes ONLY.

    Step1:

    Download and install muTorrent

    Step2a:

    Search torrent websites for “Windows 7 Beta”
    ISO Hunt
    Bite Nova
    The Pirate Bay

    Step2b:

    If you don’t want to download torrents, you can download using rapidshare. Just do a Google search for “Windows 7 Beta rapidshare”, and scan through the results until you find a website with Windows 7 rapidshare links. then download the links.

    Step 3:

    Once the ISO has download, you can download Deepburner to burn the ISO to a dvd.
