Windows 7 Official Public Beta

[Kronir]

I got my key (sheer luck!) a couple of hours ago and installed. Only problem I have is when in Windows 7 is that it doesn't recognize my Vista partition; likely has something to do with my RAID0 config. I didn't install a RAID driver during install because it recognized both partitions then, and I wasn't sure if my Vista64 driver would work. I might reinstall and see, though... (I always loaded up the RAID driver during Vista's install despite it recognizing all my partitions just fine)...

Other than that, and a few app freezes, Windows 7 works pretty darn good in the limited time I spent with it. :)

Wrong answer, and yes I have a key. I already made the effort of giving one away to another member, so don't be a bitch. Answer the god damn riddle.

For an extra secret look, use one of those dark black or blue light bulbs for lighting! It looks awesome!

so whats the advantage of having a legit key rather than re arming?

not having to rearm.

Alright, so I was receiving the error that was expected when I used the following link "https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/scripts/gcs.aspx?Product=tn-win7-64-ww&LCID=1033" but right now I'm just being directed to Microsoft homepage. Anyone else experiencing this?

[DClark]

About 4 more months of use - assuming the re-arming is 120 days (even though the RC will probably be released long before).

[Snowl]

You can submit feedback? I think? And you dont need to re-arm

[Josh7289]

Winner! You've been PM'd (or will be in a sec).

I AM WINNAR!

Wow, THANKS! Now I have to download the ISO and try this out. Hope it works! :p

And if I get any of my own keys, I'll be sure to give them away in this thread.

btw, DClark, you have to admit that was a stupid riddle. Just to defend him a bit, there have never been any child abuse rulings against MJ, as far as I know. His music can be really catchy, too. :D

THANKS AGAIN, THOUGH!

[Snowl]

People using https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/sc...w&LCID=1033 Make sure your signed in and in the technet homepage!

[BStiles]

If you really want a key, you must answer me this (or anyone else for that matter):

What is black and blue and is in your closet?

In my closet there is a black and blue wireless Linksys router!

[t0mbi]

haha well you guys can keep getting keys all you want, im just going to re arm and go out and enjoy my saturday off not in front of a computer!

Good luck guys!

[funktron]

Going on 2 hours now. No luck. Tried every trick and link out there. Up to 10 tabs and "reload all".

Lolzors. My luck isn't good today. Glad I'm not in Vegas.

What time is it to go to bed at Michael Jackson's house?

When the big hand is on the little hand.

J/K'ing!

[+Mystic MVC]

Jeez, check out all the one post wonders. Where did they get all these keys? :p

Hehe, well, seems like there are many good sports here :).

I'll continue to do it in a single tab seeing as I have restricted movement (right now I cannot move my arm without pain, literally), hope I get one soon :).

It redirects if you have silverlight installed. Without silverlight, I keep getting the "technical error" screen.

[DClark]

I have no more keys (unless I start doubling, but that would be unfair to the other folks I distributed to). Just make up a Live ID then PM it to me.

[Xenon]

After a long time and almost wearing out my F5 key, I give up. If any kind soul has a extra key and is feeling generous can you please pm it to me?

[DocWasTaken]

What is black and blue and is in your closet?

The riddle is: "Whats black and blue and hides in the closet?"

Not nitpicking, just bored enough to respond while hitting f5........f5........f5

[darkxl]

[cerebrix]
