Got the invite. I am running 64 bit Vista and wanted to install 64 bit Office 2010. But it wants me to remove Expression Web (part of office 2007). Ended up installing 32 bit. Will install 64 bit tomorrow on my Windows7 machine.

I received the e-mail for the technical preview.

I go to the MS connect site and start filling out the registration form for the preview and get all the way to end and get an error that says the page can't be found or I don't have permission to view it. It then gives a random combination of letters and numbers. :crazy: I don't get it.... I get an invitation for the Technical Preview and then I can't even access it.?????

Now I have to wait three days for MS to respond about this issue. Could it be that this error is because too many people are accessing the site?

I had the same issue when I clicked on "Accept Invitation" in the e-mail. Went back and copy and pasted the URL that was beneath the invite link and then it worked.

i had already applied that a month back but no luck. doesn't understand the criteria they follow to select individuals.

4006 so newer than the leak

Are you sure about that?

The previous leak for the Tech Preview was 4006 from what I recall (might be wrong but this is what I remember). Has a nasty issue with printing from excel also (scaling of print size). The new leak is build 4302, and this issue has been fixed.

bioran23, please could you give the filesize in bytes of the .isos for the 32bit and 64bit and the MD5 hashes, i'd be very greatful. Also a screenshot of MS Word main window so we can see if the "File F" bug has been fixed.

It's not an ISO. It's an exe.

I got it. :laugh:

Are we allowed to install this on 2 separate machines? (those who get it from Connect legitimately)

If you can request more keys I can't see the problem.

got my invite. Not been on any of the previous private beta's, however did get into WLM9 early.

Do they still give away copies of the final version to those who submit bugs?

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
