Finally got a few keys. Thanks for offering a key Hoosier28 but I actually went to sleep, I was too cranky. :p

One question, are these unique keys given to each account or can someone today possible get the same key and activate it before me. I've been reading some comments on how some people's keys are an exact duplicate but I haven't gotten any of those.

No problem. Everyone was cranky last night. :D

I get 0x80070017 (iirc) during the Expanding Files process. I looked it up and it seems like people had that problem with Vista too. Some said they fixed it by slowing the burn speed when they burn the disc.

-Spenser

I burned at 2.4x and again at 4x... meh

One of my keys is unique apparently, the others are identical to what has been posted. The skies open up and the angels cry.
Get over yourself, each key has unlimited activations.

Umm, that was a joke. I love how sensitive some people are and how much stress this beta is putting on them. :rofl:

I got a beta key from DClark last night, but now I'm getting multiple ones from the official Windows 7 site, all on the same Live account and all from the various 64-bit links.

So people are saying the ones you get now from the official MS Windows 7 site are all the same for everyone? Like, the same 10 or so beta keys? If so, won't those keys be invalid because they're already used?

Hello, There is a complete list of all keys for 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 public beta over at Tech Power Up forums. Also to those getting corrupted image errors, it is probably the browser/download manager you used. I used MSN Explorer download manager the first time. 5 hours and a wasted DVD later I downloaded using Internet Explorer and burned a perfect DVD.!

you know the keys that were obtained with the workaround before? were they unique keys? why are some people looking up these keys on google? Some people also claimed that when they used their key, Windows shows an error message saying it was not a unique key

I feel that if you really like Vista already, you should stick with Vista for now, the Beta really isn't worth installing yet. I have an ultraportable (1.33ghz), and it runs much faster and fluid on Vista than on Win7 Beta. My Vista is highly tweaked and worked great.

no they won't be invalid as Microsoft seems to have let them free and save itself the hassle of giving away too many keys and managing them at the Beta stage....where feedback is much more important than the PC where it is coming from.....

I would not say this, Windows 7 out performs Vista with Tweaks

I got a unique key but thats cause i did it yesterday. Unique keys were only given out yesterday and early this morning using the workaround. Now everyone has the same 10. Does that sum it up for everyone?

If you used a activation patch before using these keys you will get the key invalid message because 2 files have been changed token.dat, pkeyconfig-xrm files which need to be replaced back to their original state, then the keys from MS will work :)

Ya but their the same 10 everyone else has trust me.

I dont think so :)

I didn't know anything about keys until I read the list of keys in a post about 15 minutes ago. I didn't have a key until about twenty minutes ago. Right after I activated my 32bit installation, with a key from Tech Net, some guy posts all the keys for the whole Circus!

So I finally windows 7 ultimate x64 installed on a late 2008 macbook pro. I've having a bit of problems with the drivers. But fortunately I got the drivers for the graphics card to work. I decided to install the vista 64bit version of the drivers and to my amazement it works. :). So now I'm going to see if I can get the isight drivers working on it and the trackpad drivers to work as well. Wish me luck.

    • 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.
