This was a real great effort to show the ineptitude of Microsoft and Ballmer. How could they not have known the heavy demand for Windows 7. Just look at all of the peoples time that they wasted today? Very poor way to start Windows 7. If the public is leary of Vista, what will they think now?? I have read in places such as CNET that people that were lucky enough to get a key are having problems using them. The keys don't always work.

ive tried both

https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/sc...w&LCID=1033

and

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

i dont get when im doing wrong here im

1) logging into technet

2) pasting the url and hitting enter

3) staring at an error message no matter how many times i hit f5.

steven, can i give you my live id maybe you can make it happen?

Maybe I should just post my key...I would be the jesus of Windows beta! I can't believe the devotion people have for obtaining a key for a beta product...Apple could only dream of such clientel.

Or send it to me :)

Steve Jobs is CRA&&ING his pants! this is a beta and it brough MS to their Knees!

Personally i have used vista for 2 years and i love It i have had none of the annoying problems i had with XP constant reboot ect...

I have not had a blue screen or any other problems other than going to network places has a delay sometimes. Nvidia is to blame for Vistas bad name, their drivers were so crappy to start with.....

You're not doing anything wrong, you're on the right track... you'll just have to keep pressing F5

Maybe you want to clear out your internet settings and try it all over again, if so, follow these instructions exactly:

Don't hand out your live id :p, you're on the right track

I give up, I just can't download the iso. Latest attempt failed at 22% (about 576meg), despite using that DownThemAll firefox plugin someone recommended.

A key but no iso, how utterly irritating.

mind sharing it with me? please :)

There's only so much they could do to deal with server problems. Can't do much about it; and besides, if you're that damn impatient there ARE other ways to get Windows 7 now. Don't have a key now? Just wait till tomorrow. How do you think the rest of us who ran the leaked builds coped with it?

People must be very naive to not anticipate heavy server congestion when it comes to certain hot releases (i.e. Firefox 3's release) or a LARGE download of beta software. Oh and by the way, the general computer illerate public is probably oblivious to all this; just those that have the slightest interest in tech are part of the masses mashing F5 on their keyboards right now.

For the record, the key I got activated successfully on the leaked 7000 32-bit build.

They could have been more proactive and made sure that the servers they had would handle the load. After all of this hype did they not believe many many people would be trying to download it? They can't be that dumb, just cheap. When I BETA tested Office 2007, they sent me the DVD's. This has turned into a circus.

with my multiple account (lol) i've 8 key ( 4x32 + 4x64 )

:rofl:

That is just cruel.

Just download the torrent...the iso is identical bit by bit.

so which link? the first or second?

You should be able to get a 64 bit key faster, and it works for 32 bit installations

I got keys for both 32 bit and 64 bit... just make sure to copy and paste the links into the technet window, and yeah, you'll get your key... eventually...

with my multiple account (lol) i've 8 key ( 4x32 + 4x64 )

Dont be greedy, hand some out. One key will activate 10 pcs.

No, I dont want one. I already have one.

BTw I got a error message like this :

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

Hmm :/ lol.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
