Pharos Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 OMG, beta testers are actually getting a FREE serial for ULTIMATE? Anyone wants to sell it? I'm willing to pay full retail price for it. Call me stupid but I'm totally against piracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinetix63 Veteran Posted November 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2006 I would like to see a screenshot of these supposed e-mails! With all the sensitive information removed of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inertia Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Agred. How much is an MSDN subscription anyways? Lucky man :| ?480 for the first year then ?335 a year after that, pretty reasonable for the OS level I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Wooohooo, downloading my FREE copy from Connect now. I felt like I did a good job submitting bugs and I'm really glad Microsoft has decided to reward the beta testers. To be honest I would have had trouble coming up with the cash to buy Vista so probably would have dropped back to XP but now I don't need to. Thank you Microsoft!

DrCheese Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Some of the MS posters on the newsgroups are saying that International users are only just starting to be sent out. Just this second got mine :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andareed Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Wendy's post seems to infer that everyone on the beta will get the RTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSPro Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Will some MSDN subscriptions only have keys for Business, or do they all have keys for all versions such as Ultimate, Business, Home Premium, etc? Are there different levels of MSDN subscriptions that determine what versions you can get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andareed Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 MSDN is meant for developers, so the level of MSDN shouldn't matter (up to whether you get OS's or not). The MSDN release should contain all versions except Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
