Well I'm getting unique keys on MSDN (have generated 4) so looks like you'll just have to wait till it goes properly live.. the key isn't 'one for all' as I heard being reported.

Is it just me or are people much more excited about the Windows 7 beta than they were about the Vista betas back in 2005/2006?

I would say its pretty much on par. However, at lot of people are going out and saying its a vast improvement compaired to the amount of people who slammed Vista for being slow and crappy.

Man! I cannot wait for the public beta! Any other sites I can get it at?

*aaahhhem* of course there are! Just none we're allowed to link to. :shiftyninja:

No Warez (links) & Cracks.

Help, requests or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to illegally obtained software :shifty:, movies & music files - posting about it, and suggesting obtaining it.

I think you catch my drift (Y)

I think people are just being positive about it as it's so far shown that Windows 7 is a big improvement on Vista in many areas.. something that a lot of people were waiting to hear! I'm keen to try it out :)

I would watch out anyone who's got net on same backbones as akamai watch out because your network latency will go through the roof as the servers get hammered because microsofts going to be moving about 6PB or so data if all 2.5 million slots are downloaded within a few days so the networks are going to get hammered if the vista beta was anything to go by since they nearly crashed the pacific network.

for the US akamai runs through alter.net so people on sprint mobile and others similarly will probably feel a ripple effect from it all so just a heads up warning if you're on this network you may experience some delays with data low speeds and/or higher general latency etc.

That is very amusing and pointless. I'm one of the people you hate. I'm a lawyer. I go after people getting satellite programming without permission. Linking to, talking about, discussing methods in very minute detail on the internet is not, I repeat NOT something that would be brought into court. Me telling you were to download hacked software, and actively encouraging you to do it is not an offense. Owning a site where such actions happen is not an offense. The offense is in actually doing it, which is a totally different matter requiring proof of action. Even admitting online you have done something is not gonna have the feds at your door tomorrow. It doesn't work that way. Think of it this way.........I have a 26 inch penis and really like small goats and heroin. There, I said it......now what? Do ya think the feds are going to jump on the website owner demanding my IP(knowing it might be through 4 jillion proxies), or do you think they will have a chuckle and go eat a doughnut?

I gets really annoying for me when I see total lunacy forbidding a certain action, when it has no legal consequence. And for the site owner, if you have been advised that links or conversations about hacks or such things can get you in trouble......get a decent lawyer. One that understands at LEAST what the first amendment means. I know exactly WHY you have this silly policy in place, and it has nothing to do with law.

Makes bugger all difference though, does it? Site rules are no discussing of warez or where to get it. It doesn't matter what legal issues there may or may not be, the site rules say no, so you're not allowed to do it. As for the first amendment thing, that's the free speech one, right? Methinks you don't actually understand where it applies. This is a privately owned web forum, not a public area; and we're not discussing political issues either, so it doesn't apply.

People in India are going to have a hard time. It is coming at 1:30 Am here. That means that we will have to stay up because if we sleep and then wake up at 7:00 AM, that is 5 and a half hours later. That will be too late. Even 6:00 AM will be late. So staying up is the only option.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
