Is there a way to get a technet subscription than paying 500+ ? Thats a bit high...

yah... get a career in the IT industry... company pays for mine ;)

Seriously though... when you consider the amount of toys you get to test and play with... $500 is well worth it... i think its also cheaper [$350?] if you get technet direct - no DVD shipments. We have technet PLUS but i never even open the DVD's when they come in.

Central time, (from TX), downloading 7 Home Premium x86 from connect....still don't see any keys yet, though.... :cool:

edit: 7 Ultimate just showed up! :cool:

Have you paid MSDN

Whos Tripod? I turned my volume down...

You don't need to pay for it, as I can't even afford it. You need to be emplyed by a buisness that is of relations with Microsoft so that you can receive or earn MSDN, or Technet for free as long as you work there.

Thanks for the information of the Windows.com, and 2.5 Million is okay although their servers will be busy for awhile.

Wait, let's see if Windows 7 Beta will break a record, shall we? :)

Too bad the real x64 is available for download from MS now. Dam them pirates were a bit slow on this one :p

I haven't seen it. Will check when I get to work tomorrow since we have a TechNET subscription.

The official beta will be made available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers on 07 January 2009 and for public download on the Windows 7 web site on 09 January 2009.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
