Nope – the torrent is of the x32 public beta of Windows 7, released by Microsoft on Friday of last week.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Windows 7 Beta torrent
I’ve created a torrent file for the Windows 7 beta for MSU internal users – by keeping the traffic on MSU copper we should be able to get much better speeds than using outside providers. The torrent file is at http://kramer45.user.msu.edu/windows7.torrent – I can provide HTTP links to the copy of the iso on the server as well, but it only has a 10 meg connection to the campus network so it might max out pretty quickly.
