My speed has dropped from 650 to 300?

anyone else has a drop?

Mines gone from around 450-500 to 350.

It's available on MSDN, but the Key generation service seems out of whack

Keys now seem broken on my Technet too, luckily I got my key copied before they broke :)

An Error Has Occurred

There was an error while trying to claim the requsted product key, and we could not process the request. Many products can be used for 30 days without a key. Please come back later and try the key request again.

i have questions about using the iso and keys from technet.

1. how many Iso's do i have to burn , say i want to test this on the 5 computers in my home, do i have to download the iso 5 times?

2.do i keep using the same key for them or do i have to get 5 different keys?

3. is this going to be the same thing GA on 10/22?

If this is the case why do all the discs have different hashes? Did they change something in a file on this discs to determine version?

230KB/Sec here btw...

there's a text file which determines the version that installs.

You only need to download the iso one time, and one key should work for 10 activations. So just download one Iso, and burn a DVD and happy installing.

If I go to a machine and paste the link for the download into that machine it starts downloading. The machine I pasted the link to is not and has never been logged into the technet account :/ Weird.

I got keys for Ultimate, Home Premium and Professional. If you downloaded the RC/beta than they provided you automatically with a new RTM key.

1. You only need to download one ISO for all time. Don't download anything 5 times, bro.

2. You can use the same retail key on up to 10 different machines (if you plan on activating all of them). Once a key is used on a specific machine, it can be activated an infinite number of times on that same machine. So, don't download 10 different keys (unless you need to install and activate 100 machines).

Microsoft recommends TechNet subscribers to install without activating if they think they may reinstall later or on other machines. The Technet & MSDN images allow you to use them for 60 days before requiring to be activated.

You should check out the Download FAQ on Technet's site for more information about how to use the keys.

the msdn stuff is the july 13th build from microsoft, so the same that daniel melanchton announced with hashcodes back then:

Oh, so its the same one that was leaked weeks ago.

    • All good features. But it is not an actual Windows app. I’d rather use the PWA. Meanwhile but versions - Classic and Modern - are full of bugs and inconsistencies. Yuck.
    • Had one user who switched to new Outlook, could not send an email he sends weekly due to file size to large error, works fine in classic Outlook. Issue just today, user received a meeting invite, when she went to add the meeting to the calendar it opened up New Outlook (she has classic open) and we could not add the invite to her calendar, We had her switch to New Outlook, it crashed when we tried to add the invite. Still hot garbage.
