whoever said it wasn't popular ;) , for the most part is was always the same few people complaining

It sure seems that way :) Anyway, I finally started the download and it's coming down at 5.3MB/sec so I should have it soon enough. Now to see if I can get a product key :D

So what is the confirmation of available Windows 8 ISO and Product keys from Technet then, is it true there is only 1 key and a Trial download or is it the full normal install with 3 keys + 10 machine per key ?

Just heard a few rumours saying 1 key and trial

Servers are getting hammered since a couple of hours now. Still no Windows 8 RTM on it, so it's probably a bad sign :p

yep, finally loaded again for me, still just CP and RP :(

Hi I just wondering if I were to apply to the Technet standard Subscription right now, would I be able to access the windows 8 download stright away????

As soon as you receive the activation email and activate it you should yea, but with the servers getting hammered it might not arrive instantly

I have a subscription and can't download it right now so I would say no!

is it really worth it at this point to get a technet subscription today? since you'll be able to get it in a couple of months for a fraction of the price

thank you for your quick response.

When you order a new Technet subscription, it can usually take up to 3 days for the activation e-mail to be received.

I first ordered my Technet subscription on 22nd March 2010, and the activation e-mail came through on the 25th.

thank you for your reply guess I have to play the waiting game to get my details.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
