I got my key refreshing the 32 bit page for 20 minutes. I had been refreshing the 64bit page for 3 hours with no success.

[cerebrix]

uggh going to https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx just takes me to windows 7 too. how are you refreshing it? just pasting over and over?

how are you refreshing? just putting the link in again after it redirects you or are you on some other page??

[DomZ]

Every time you refresh you gotta paste it into the address bar because it redirects?

Also win 7 install can't format a partition that is unformatted. Pain in the ass I had to boot back into ubuntu and format it first.

In that page appeared the error message

[underbite]

Paste the link into the address bar. It takes you to an error page. Now just F5 until a key shows up. I spent hours doing it.

[Crucify]

Just added on the Win 7 site

The page wasn't redirecting me. I kept getting the error saying to try back the next business day or the search page saying that the page could not be found. I was using firefox. I've since tried in IE7 and it redirects and I've tried it on my work computer in Firefox and it also redirects. Guess I was just lucky.

[scaramonga]

Read whats now on refreshed page, it has changed.

Though so. Computerworld got inventive with their reporting.

doesnt take me to an error page. it just redirects back to the windows 7 homepage for me

[Jbman]

I'm downloading the ISO right now but its very slow (110k/sec). Perhaps because I'm on wireless. People should seed their build on torrent if they were successful.

PS. I'm downloading the 64 bit version

[atleeit]

you didn't get you key as of now, you got it ealuier a couple of hours ago lol, all links do not work!

[DomZ]

Whenever I go to:

https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx

it always redirects me to the Windows 7 homepage. :-/

I guess you managed to fill in the form from the technet site earlier, and got the email. That site I'm guessing recognizes your passport account is registered and so (trys) to redirect you to the key place rather than the win 7 site

[Lewism]

You need to be logged in your Passport account

[hdood]

If it redirects to the main page, it's because you're either not logged in (log in somewhere else first), or because you didn't register your Windows Live ID when the form was up earlier.

Download links work.

[primexx]

^ so MS royally screwed us over on this by posting the form before it was supposed to be and not anticipating heavy traffic.

what form?

I did fill in the form earlier, but I never got an email. I remained logged in though, so that probably helped.
