Yay got key

[sorrowuk]

The keys are working all the time now, however if u get to the key page, and refresh you get a different key sometimes, there seems to be like 6 keys,

ALSO, I've checked and the keys are all the same doesnt matter what live account you use.

There seems to be 10 different keys in total.

Check with other people the first 5 digits i bet they match ?

CONFIRMED- ALL FIXED EVERY REFRESH GETS A KEY!

Keys seem to repeat but some are different occasionally.

I thought you were full of crap, but it's true. I get new keys every 3-4 refreshes.

I am not refreshing anymore, because I want the 2.5 million keys to go to others who will use them as well.

Sorrowuk: None of my first 5 digits match on any of the keys I've obtained.

Glad to hear everyone is getting a key :) amazing interest in Windows 7 that's for sure....

You will have the same keys as other people.

I bet someones 32 bit key starts - 6JKV2

and a 64 bit key starting 482XP

Ok, i see that the "Beta download page" is still not working.... but it seems that its now possible to get keys pretty easy... and they work, confirmed by me, just activated. Microsoft screwed up here... all those who use this forum now know how to get them... soon M$ will run out of keys to give... So it would be good if those that got their keys to stop getting more or others wont have any left ;)

I want to confirm part of sorrowuk's statement, though. It is true that you only get ~10 keys in total. After his post, I decided to refresh some more and I keep getting repeats now.

[gamerboy]

i got 2 extra keys so if anyone can't get it to work still or doesn't get one in time pm me. first 2 people to pm me will get them. they are both 32 bit btw but it is my understanding that they work for either.

[sorrowuk]

If you refresh enough times u will get a 32 bit key starting - 6JKV2

and a 64 bit key starting - 482XP

Therefore everyone gets the same keys, and there is only 10 of them round about

[Dane]

I finally got a key!!!

[SMELTN]

agreed sorrowuk.. I got about 6-8 different key combinations, but finally did get a 6JKV2 and a 482XP

[Unimatrix Xero]

i currently have 5 BETA 1 codes, PM if you want one (sorry no one below 500 posts need not pm me)

[Cdscottie]

I seem to be getting different keys but not starting with what you have said Sorrowuk. Last one I got started with RFFTV

Odd I got one key for x64 that started with 482XP, and x64 6JKV2

Maybe there is only 10 key for everyone :p

[Steven77]

Keys are definitely different. I just keep refreshing and saving w/ snipping tool. Trust me i will hoard for when people dont have any :)

[Clete2]

So let's run with the idea of those two keys. Does everyone's have these ending digits?

6JKV2...PBJ73

482XP...FQF4M

[Crazysah]

Glad to hear everyone is getting a key :) amazing interest in Windows 7 that's for sure....

Did you get one or do you already have Windows 7 running?

[Mohitster]

10 for each one.....can confirm it now :D

I think you may be onto something w/ the ten keys per person.

Let me just take the time that this proves the pirates point as USUAL. If we go the legitimate way, we can't get any keys or beta. For all we know the keys will be nearly gone by time they FINALLY get around to doing what they said they were gonna do 24 hours ago.

Instead going the *alternative* way, we get lots of keys and we get them now.

What a joke.
