who is forcing you to waste the time ?

It's a waste in the sense that a lot of us have been hawking around the past few hours just waiting and now, even 1hr after the time it was scheduled for, we are still empty handed. And according to that article someone posted a couple pages back, it seems like business customers are getting priority right now for the keys due to the higher demand from everyone else.

I am on break from college. So, I have nothing else to do but to sit and wait for whatever happens next.

This is bad. Really bad. someone said that the windows update site is down to. Wow, you would think they would come up with something better than this really. Just limit the speed of each connection or somethin. Wow, four real. It was down soon as it came up. Wow. Neowin is almost down to now.

Due to very heavy traffic we?re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I?ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!

I actually got through the whole registration and on the final page (where you get the image of your key) I got an error telling me to come back the next business day. (They must have known that I was on a MacBook).

ETA: The actual error was this-

Error

The site is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please check back in the next business day.

Open Source (C++, wxWidgets) Cross platform for Windows (7/10), Linux, RPi and Mac (if self-compiled) WebChangeMonitor 26.06 release notes: Release 26.06 brings mostly s but updates the underlying core infrastructure. A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
