Thats only to upgrade. You can install it like any other windows by booting from the cd and do a clean install.

Their is a program that is a ISO installer? use this program called Damien tools

How long does the beta last for?

I'm a bit PO'd that I'll have to buy Vista soon and it'll become outdated in a few months. -_-

zdnet article - Sure, Windows 7 is not XP, and never will be (thankfully). And if you're put off by things such as activation and DRM, then Windows isn't the OS for you (good news is there are others to choose from).

Sadly the Download links in your Post don't work I guess.
