Entitled Windows 7 beta customer preview program, the company has posted the beta bits to the Microsoft TechNet pages. Be warned it's rather slow at the moment.

Download: Windows 7 x86 (32bit) and x64 (64 bit)
Right click and copy link and paste into a new window to download as otherwise the links will forward to Microsoft.com

According to Microsoft there are 2.5 million keys to go around worldwide so plenty in other words. Microsoft is also providing a QFE patch for the MP3 corruption issues that have plagued build 7000, this should be online shortly as KB961367. It's extremely important you apply this patch as you may lose parts of your MP3s if the patch is not applied. 32bit and 64bit patches are now available.

Update: It appears that Microsoft.com is suffering badly with "server too busy" messages but we now have direct download links.

Been taken down:

Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal—we're in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We're sorry for the delay and we'll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.

These links still work but you will still need to go to the site for a key:

32:download.microsoft.com/.../7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso

64:download.microsoft.com/.../7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

I've got only one thing to say about Windows 7...

It's what Vista should have been two years ago...
