benplace Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Does anyone know why Microsoft removed Vista from MSDN downloads? Also when I request my key I get an application error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMeAiM Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Also got removed from my subscription. But i still got my keys. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost9 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Isn't only the 64bit edition that has been removed, because of high load on the servers? See this post on MSBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benplace Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 No both are gone, but it looks like Microsoft is doing this to load balance their servers. When it gets to capacity they remove it, then when things settle put it back up. I downloaded it yesterday, but have not been able to get my key. This sucks.

Nas Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 It is most definitely load-balancing reasons. I started the download 2 nights ago, with average quality. Last night, no connections. This morning, it's flying at between 200-300kbps. This leads me to believe it is load balancing -- but my MSDN subscriptions still has the link to it (maybe because I clicked a link within my visit history).

Nathanael Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 That's why the download finally works like it should. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
