LAS VEGAS: Microsoft Corp has said that it has paused offering downloads of the public test version of its new version of Windows due to "high d

emand."

The "beta" launch of the highly anticipated update to Microsoft's Windows franchise began early on Friday, but the company had to halt downloads to add more servers. "We are adding servers as fast as we can add them," a Microsoft spokesman said at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He declined to say when Windows 7 downloads would resume.

Microsoft said at CES this week that it would let consumers test the next generation of its computer operating system starting Friday.

Microsoft, the world's biggest maker of software, has said Windows 7 will incorporate touch screen technology and allow users to more easily personalize the system. It promised more user-friendly features, such as a new taskbar that previews all open windows from a single application by hovering over the program's icon.
