Recently "Brandon Leblanc" @ The Windows Blog posted that Windows 7 Beta testers will not get any free copy of Windows 7 RTM as they got in case of Windows Vista.
But today he cleared the confusion and confirmed that all invitation-only Technical Beta testers will get a FREE final copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on August 6th.
Here is what he says:
Last week, I blogged that members of the Windows Technical Beta Program would not be receiving a complimentary copy of Windows 7. Normally I hate to be wrong but in this case, I’m stoked that I am.
To show our appreciation, members of the invitation-only Windows 7 Technical Beta Program will be eligible for a free, final copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. For more information on how to take advantage of this, refer to Paul’s post in the .Beta_Program newsgroup for details.
Tell Paul that Brandon sent you - and be sure to thank him!
So cheers all Windows 7 Beta testers...
NOTE: This offer is only valid for those Technical beta testers who got invitation from MS Connect to test Windows 7.
