Microsoft still unable to keep their servers up

windows-server Microsoft released Windows 7 beta yesterday and pulled it off after mid-day failing to keep the servers up with the increase in the web traffic to their download site. Microsoft published the story in their Windows Team blog and faced hell a lot of criticism from yesterday. Windows 7 beta download for 32bit and 64 bit systems are fine today but Microsoft is still unable to keep their servers up even after a day. Windows 7 Beta Customer Preview is still down and the users are unable to access.

Though some consider this as a shame, Microsoft will be happy now to see the amount of traffic interested in Windows 7. See some snapshots from different sites making fun of this epic failure.
