Microsoft will make 2.5 million downloads of Windows 7 Beta 1 available on the 9th of January for the general public. You can get more details here about grabbing it.
The big question is – how long will it take for 2.5 million downloads of Windows 7 to be wiped out?
My guess is before the weekend is over. What do you think?
Comment on this and lets see who gets the closest to it. There just might be a prize in it for whoever is on the mark or close to it.

Even more so given the inevitably high server load…

And then people will torrent it.
I think it could be later, because it will spread on the torrent sites so people wont go to the M$ website, they will just torrent it. It could possible be quicker via torrent too if you get enough peers, so it will be interesting.
