Windows 7 new construction

Wondering why the new building leaked always need to be downloaded via Torrent Files :angry:

Think it would be smarter for Microsoft to release these new buildings through a public company. All feedback from beta testers million century is that Microsoft gives unprecedented possibilities to improve the final product.

This can seem obvious, but surely there are other reasons behind it as it is.

For my part I will continue with construction in 7000 and await with great interest RC1, although curiosity at the new building that has been written on this forum is great.

I did not nderstand what you mean. I'm running build 7000 and will wait until RC1 is released officially. But it depends partly also because I do not have the energy to keep on having to reinstall all the time.

It is part of the hype-building! Just the feeling that it is a little forbidden that makes expectations to increase, and create a kind of hysteria after more! There is no chap who work at Microsoft's marketing department... even if they think everyone else is.

Calvin K is on the right track. But I do not see what is the problem of distributing via torrents, rather than the overloaded server. Can agree that torrent could have been easily accessible from the MS website, so you know it's real stuff if it was what was the problem.

The right conclusion, so it only released a beta version and then a RC version, and why not even the beta testers on Connect in the past may be new construction on a regular basis. One of the reasons is that Microsoft is focusing on developers to work with to bring the code forward, instead of ensuring that building to be released publicly is flawless, both to the course to go to test, but also to not cause negative publicity.
