So how’s that Windows 7 beta treating you? Even if you’ve had issues—and we know that some of you have—you should know that Microsoft is trying to make this whole experience work as smoothly as possible.

Gone is the 2.5 million-download limit. Since the beta has proven to be so popular, Microsoft has decided that, for the next two weeks, if you download the beta you’ll get a key. (No having to resort to BitTorrent, then.) This “offer,” if you can call it that, goes through January 24.

Good to see Microsoft trying to make good here.
