aristofeles Share Posted September 1, 2006 Someone has to ask: any news about the key? Does the BETA2 still work? Link to post Share on other sites
Dane Share Posted September 1, 2006 Someone has to ask: any news about the key? Does the BETA2 still work? "you must generate a new key" from what it tells me Link to post Share on other sites

Ravensworth Share Posted September 1, 2006 Don't believe everything you read on the web ... just wait till rtm I'm not sure you understand the concept of a release candidate. :unsure: Link to post Share on other sites

nexus291 Share Posted September 1, 2006 gonna check connect, at work right now can anyone confirm, do we need new keys of BETA 2 keys will work? Link to post Share on other sites
dagamer34 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'm not sure you understand the concept of a release candidate. :unsure: It's not really a REAL RC as we all know Microsoft would never think about releasing this particular build as RTM. Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Caro Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^^ thats impossible lol.... - if thats real thats pretty awesome. Especially they promised 20 min installs lol 5536 took 20 minutes to install here, and nother 5 until I was already in control of my desktop (those 5 additional minutes it was doing some performance checks). It was pretty nice. The install is very "unatended". You put the key, and 20 minutes later it's already booting Link to post Share on other sites
Dane Share Posted September 1, 2006 gonna check connect, at work right now can anyone confirm, do we need new keys of BETA 2 keys will work? I posted this earlier, on connect it says generate a new key Link to post Share on other sites
Mike E Share Posted September 1, 2006 i think i might just have to be late for work... Link to post Share on other sites
pipdo Share Posted September 1, 2006 I posted this earlier, on connect it says generate a new key No it doesn't... :no: You should use your same key(s) from previous releases. To generate a new key, please request from key package ?5342 and Up ? Ultimate? and ?Beta 2 Home Basic/Home Premium/Business (v.5384)?. ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Ravensworth Share Posted September 1, 2006 Why call it RC1 then? Anyway I really do not believe that they are hiding some secret GUI that they're not going to unveil until it hits the store shelves. That would be crazy, things like that have to be tested. This is what we're getting, everyone should just accept it. They didn't do all this work on the current theme for no reason.

Code.Red Share Posted September 1, 2006 The UI improvements that were stated earlier are probably just little tweaks that they have been doing all along anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
boogerjones Share Posted September 1, 2006 Took 14 Minutes to install says the neowin newsposter :) Upgrade or full install. And it still doesn't include the Performance Test (which took several minutes on Pre-RC1). Link to post Share on other sites
pipdo Share Posted September 1, 2006 Oh wow, well then its a fluke because i had to generate a new one :|, hopefully it works. hmm, that's weird. You should be able to use each key up to 5 times per build. I hope I don't run into this problem, as I've already generated all I can for the current set of keys... :unsure: Link to post Share on other sites
