Windows 7 beta now on MSDN and Connect

You can now download the beta of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 from MSDN subscriber downloads and from Microsoft Connect.

Unfortunately the Windows SDK is not yet available. Let’s hope that it’s posted soon.

Update: the SDK is now available from MSDN.

Do you know where it is on the Connect website? I'm struggling to find it.

May have to wait for the person who has the MSDN keys to wake up and grab it from there (where it's easy to find but the download links are all greyed out for me as my account isn't tied to a subscription).

Leo Davidson: I think you need to be invited to the beta in order to download it from Connect. If you’re not part of the Windows 7 beta you won’t see it on Connect. Your best bet is to get it from MSDN.

pepegrillo: No you should be able to use the Microsoft symbol server as normal.
