I would not spend $3.50 for a subscription. What occurred yesterday has really soured me towards Microsoft.

You make it sound like they took away something you'd PAID for, or something. Why don't you grow up and get over your entitlement issues? MS owe you, or anyone else, nothing; they don't HAVE to make these beta's public at ALL you know...

When i installed on windows update, there were

Beta graphics driver

beta audio driver

beta network driver

quick question, how did u get windows update to work if your network driver wasnt installed yet? sorry if that sounded like a noob question but i think its only logical to think you can't access the internet until your network driver is installed

Well when i installed 7 on my machine it had a driver out the boxx for my network and wifi but when i went to windows update there was an "updated" driver for my LAN card and several other devices.

The network card could be his LAN while he's using WLAN to access the network. 7 has lots of drivers for various WLAN cards.

You have a point. But on the other end, MS has a monopoly and we are all forced to use it unless we want to use OS's that none of our friends/family are going to use/share stuff w/. For that reason alone they need to be more on it. I dont care if it's free or not. Any operating system that MS releases is going to affect the world as we know it. And they know it also. So they should be a little more considerate about something that were pretty much forced to use unless we want to use mac/linux. NOT SAYING that mac or linux is bad, but lets just be real here and honest.

You will always get the same key, unless you log in with a different live account.

No. I just got 4 different 32bit keys simply right clicking and reloading the page in FF

Any one know if you can use Win-7 in a multi-boot setup... Vista or WinXP ?

Thanks

Those are from lifehacker but they work.

I don't understand why people are getting so annoyed with this. This is a beta, not a release of the operating system. It means that once installed, you will run into problems, find that somethings don't work as they should, and that you may be troubleshooting more then using it. This is the beta process. This is not a trial as many seem to think.

Either way, if I don't get a key in the end I won't lose any sleep over it. I just hope the people who do get the keys will use them for the right reasons and not for their own selfish gains.

I just set up a dual boot with WinXP with zero issues. Works just like Vista in that regard. If you want to blast it again (under XP anyway) just need to delete the partition, boot into XP recovery mode, fixboot and fixmbr and off you go.

And just an FYI, I just got into the site and got some keys. Zero wait, popped right up. Win7 is sweeeeeet. Runs great on my main system. Horribly disappointed to see them drop support for the nForce2 chipset though; runs great on my older test system too, but no drivers for the motherboard, networking, etc :( Pity, as it runs just fine on that old AthlonXP too.

Microsoft does not have a monopoly, but a few years ago they almost did as the United States (U.S.) government was on them. Microsoft only has an eighty percent, and higher majority in the operating system market. Apple Co. has maybe 10%, following Unix operating systems.

In another note, I've successfully installed Windows 7 Ultimate from MSDN. MSDN is in the thousands per year for a subscription, but it has a lot of tools, and applications from the past, and present. Technet is a lot cheaper, and so if you want to be a better beta experience downloading any Windows operating system then I would advise for you all to subscribe to Microsoft Technet.

If you need a Windows 7 64-Bit Key (Only One), contact me.

The only issue I have now is attempting to send feedback as it seems that I can't access Microsoft Connect with my account. Any suggestions how to solve this issue?

That's the case now. They changed it, it seems that they removed the 2,5m limit too (because many people are getting the same keys). Before even if you ran like 300 tabs with c4c/greasemonkey, you'd get 300 identical keys (but different from what another live login would get).

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
