Multiple Windows 7 versions coming?
Not again. That’s why Apple succeeds: Simplicity. One version of Mac OS X for everything. Anyways, the latest build is 7025, while the current, public beta version is build 7000.
Or, it could be a fake. There’s a few signs pointing that it might be a fake.
Anyways, you can’t trust a site like that. Source

How to: Get a Windows 7 Beta Key!
FIRST, download the ISO image. Here’s the links.
Even with the slmgr -rearm trick, your Windows 7 Beta copy will only last 90 days. An activation key will extend your expiry date all the way to August 1, 2009. To get your activation key, first sign-in at the Technet website with your Windows Live ID. Once you’re signed in, you must copy and paste one of the following links into your browser.
Windows 7 Beta 32-bit Activation Key:

Windows 7 Beta 64-bit Activation Key:
https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/scripts/gcs.aspx?Product=tn-win7-64-ww&LCID=1033
According to different sources, the 32-bit keys WILL work on the 64-bit version AS WELL. So if the 32-bit keys run out, USE the 64-bit one. There are only 2.5 million keys available.

Windows 7 Beta is here!
Is here = means that it isn’t from a certain Pirate Bay and directly, legally from Microsoft.
Microsoft is limiting this beta to 2.5 million only, and the beta will expires on the 31 August 2009.
Unfortunely, Microsoft has underestimated the demand to it, and are currently “in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand.” So keep your eyes on this blog when it comes back up!
Josh’s Verdict: Time to go back to The Bay (for the time being anyways)!
