Following internal alpha testing, BitTorrent is offering its new server-less messaging app as a closed pre-alpha for Windows 7 and Windows 8. Formerly referred to as BitTorrent Chat, the company has announced its official name as ‘Bleep’ and released a screenshot of the app’s current design.

After debuting as Dev and Canary channels in June, the 64-bit version of Chrome for Windows 7 and Windows 8 has now landed as a beta channel. As noted previously, the 64-bit version of Google’s popular browser should be faster than its 32-bit counterpart, especially in graphics and multimedia content, and also safer because of its ability to leverage new OS features such as High Entropy ASLR on Windows 8.
