Windows 7 beta crashes trial download infrastructure

Microsoft has been actively stoking interest in Windows 7 Beta, and they must have known interest would be high once they made it available. So what does Microsoft running out of bandwidth say about the reliability of Microsoft's forthcoming "Azure" cloud computing environment, which promises to solve the problem of usage spikes for others?



Two thoughts;
1/ Maybe Microsoft will learn to shrink their O/S size and that you dont really need 2.5gb for a great O/S.

2/ Does this mean that there is pent up demand for Windows 7 from people that have held off from upgrading to windows vista and that Windows 7 is going to be a smashing commercial success?

Cheers,
Dean
