They won't run out of keys, it seems the whole notion of 2.5 million beta users was tossed out the window (no pun intended)... Yesterday people were getting unique keys, today a set of 10 keys are being recycled and handed out.

Maybe they'll only activate the first 2.5 million, but I really doubt that

I doubt they will really go with the 2.5 million people figure.
We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit.

Seeing how the keys have been posted already in this thread, and also given the disc images have been placed on many mirrors and torrents, everything should be fine now. Start testing. :)

i want to dual boot vista & 7. if i am wrong in these steps please let me know where

1. create a new partition

2. mount the ISO using PowerISO

3. follow the installation process

do i have to move the ISO to the newly created partition before i mount it?

So what happens to the volume keys after this two week period? Will they still work in case any of us end up reinstalling Win7 again? Imo, I think they should still work beyond those dates.

People with unique keys from when i got them yesterday will not work unlimited, the 10 released today will be unlimited :)

I will use my unique keys and when i cannot activate no more i will just do it by telephone :p

Does anybody know if its possible to install Realtek AC'97 drivers? ive been trying for a while with no luck. =/

My laptop includes a Realtek High Definition Audio Device, the original Windows 7 drivers worked to get it working but I was able to use Windows Update and got the latest drivers which were released mid December of 2008.

No, you do not have to move it. Just mount ISO in your current OS and start the install.

Good, pretty much what I was thinking.

Have you tried using the driver offered directly from the Realtek website and not OEM? Sometimes the driver on the OEM sites are not always compatible as the ones offered straight from Realtek.

Damn nothing is showing up for me in windows update for me

Try using this file directly from Realtek's site.

ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/6285_Vista_APO_PG536.zip (copy and paste the link cause it adds http)

Or you can go here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/ and get drivers directly.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
