"January 10, 2009 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp.
on Saturday restarted its rollout of the Windows 7 beta, 24 hours after
it aborted the launch because heavy demand had stalled its servers. As
of noon PST, the company said that the primary beta download site, an
offshoot of the Windows section of Microsoft.com, was "up and working."
Computerworld confirmed that the Windows 7 beta download page was
online and taking download requests. Springboard Series, another public download location targeting IT professionals, was also live. "
