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.

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.

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      By 31067 · Posted

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
