Windows 7 Official Public Beta

[Inctye]

Curse you all who were able to get it to work in just a few tries. (just kidding) If 15 tabs can't get me a key, I don't know what will. :angry:

Anyway, I just ran a script that is as good as a key and got this all wrapped up. Good night all.

6 hours+

and I've kept logged into technet, connect and the profile centre all just to be sure.

:(

Its 11:27am 10th Jan 2009 here still no key! :(

Can someone toss me a MD5 Checksum of the Windows 7 Build 7000 ISO from Microsoft's site? Thanks.

I'm thinking that maybe because I don't live in america is why I can't get one..unless someone can tell me otherwise I think i may go to sleep lol

Well, I live in America and I still can't get one. I just think it's all based on luck. Either you have it or you don't.

[WelshBluebird]

Still no key here either.

I just don't see how MS, one of the worlds biggest (if not the biggest) tech companies can underestimate demand by so much. Surely they must have known that it would create huge pressure and demand on their servers.

I just love how I got a key, and it doesnt work :( says its not valid

[devize]

Well looks as if I don't..maybe some of the lucky ones should get the keys for us heh

So are you saying that the key you're getting is not activating your windows 7?

pass the popcorn

atleet - it always has afaik.

[devize]

It's been redirecting me to that from the start.. I think thats how its sposed to be, the screenshot from someone who got a key had that redirected link so nothing to worry about i think

That's nothing new. it's always been doing that.

[yakumo]

Scripted with a reasonable varying delay. 6.15am here I can't keep awake any longer, hope I have a key when I wake up. :rolleyes:

Good luck to the rest of you. I hope you all give proper bug reports otherwise your wasting your key, stick to the 30 day install :p

[atleeit]

well it was not redirecting like that before

https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx --> Use to be redirect to microsoft.com/windows/windows7 site

https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/sc...w&LCID=1033 --> Came to an error site not found on microsoft site, live search page

MAN THIS IS F4RKED!

If it goes to live search I had to delete my history and cookies, go back to technet and sign in then try the link again and its all working fine, apart from the fact that I STILL CANT GET ONE lol

OMG! I got one!!! After more than 5 hours of refreshing. HALLELUJAH! Keep trying guys, it definitely works!

Hi all, I just made an account and figured I'd chime in here. After pressing f5 to no avail i downloaded the check4change add-on for firefox and set it to refresh every second on 3 tabs. I got one code within 15 mins, and another one in about 30 mins. I'm trying for a third now.

I was wondering, how many activations to you get with each key?

btw, it still works, so keep trying. i highly recommend an automated system to give your finger a rest and save some time.

Congratulations, hopefully I will be as lucky as you

I think I'll have to try that one, I've run out of ideas. If you do manage to get some more keys would you be able to sneak one in for me?

Well I've got check4change going so maybe I might have bit of a rest and something to eat before I die of starvation, congrats to everyone that managed to find a key

I don't know if its just me but grabbed the md5sum off of my Windows 7 build 7000 torrent and it wasn't the same but the file name is different.

Info I got from it:

7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso
