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

[xendrome]

So it looks like Pro is not on Technet?

[winlonghorn]

Pro is on there. The key for Pro is under the Product Keys for the standard "Windows 8" listings.

[ClintEastman]

Just getting errors trying to claim a key. Soon......

[ahhell]

What are the differences between the different versions?

Bloody site is getting destroyed. lol

[Brandon H Supervisor]

so DreamSpark is timing out for me now, not sure if this a good sign or a bad one

[BeerFan]

No, it's there. If you have a Standard subscription, it says "not available at your subscription level".

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

[Detection]

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

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

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

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.
