KZWings Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 For a TechNet Direct subscription, you don't receive disks; you just download directly from the site. That's why this subscription type is so much less expensive. But this free thing - I don't know. It seems a little hard to believe. How long is the subscription for? Does it have all the Technet downloads available? Yeah, i browsed around more, it certainly looks like it has all the Technet downloads available. And i believe these subscriptions normally last for a year, but my profile says "Expiration Date: 1/1/1900", so i'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+devHead Subscriber² Posted June 3, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted June 3, 2009 Looks like it requires you to participate in a 2.5 month survey as part of the subscription: I snagged this from SlickDeals: The next step in the process is to register and login to the IT Advisory Council, the online portal where you will be registering your feedback during the TechNet Plus Pilot program. Within 24 hours you will receive an email with a link to the ITAC portal and instructions on how to register. You will need to do this in order to access the workspace where all research tasks will be posted and carried out. Remember, the free one year TechNet Plus subscription requires that you participate in all of the Pilot research activities, and will be deactivated if you don't log into ITAC within 24 hours of receiving the login instructions. We'll see you in ITAC and will explain more there. So, it seems like the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+devHead Subscriber² Posted June 3, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yeah, i browsed around more, it certainly looks like it has all the Technet downloads available.And i believe these subscriptions normally last for a year, but my profile says "Expiration Date: 1/1/1900", so i'm not sure. Probably once you get the link for the survey and start participating, the date will be updated. Someone on another forum (dslreports) just reported that they got an e-mail from MS canceling their account... OK, well maybe I was wrong about it being a real deal. Well, like the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashG Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Downloads work, use IE I am, they still don't work. The download manager pops up but nothing starts downloading. Got keys, need the ISO's. Using IE8 and Vista x86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 This works, but if you don't do the required surveys (you can ONLY be invited in), your accounts will be cancelled within 24 hours. So i'd advise everyone to either not be immoral, and don't use it. *OR* be immoral, and get all the keys and downloads you can - fast! :D :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I am really not interested in the keys at all, I am not bothering with them. I am just taking a Vista X64 with Service Pack 2 iso from them It's a shame my new pc doesn't come with a backup dvd. so is this legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 so is this legal? Good question... It's in no-mans land! It's legal as long as you have a subscription. If they cancel it, it becomes illegal, i'd imagine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now on Neowin's front page, it seems they (microsoft) are offering it for three months until September. Someone said about Tax information, I didn't enter anything for tax exempt, because my state has tax, and the total was $0.00 so no reason for tax, so i didnt enter anything for the tax stuff. but ehh i am just curious to why they are doing this.
