This is a stupid question but you never know ,is there anyway to git windows 7 off TeckNet with out a subscription?

I did have the trial thing once :p

No, you cannot. The trial did not grant you access to the software downloads.

I really hope you can pick the version during install. The only good thing I had to say about Vista was that it was "one disc fits all" (bar architecture) unlike the mess that XP introduced.

But unlike the Vista listings, these 7 ones just show one version available in each ISO.

It's really interesting the way they're managing this. My download of Ultimate x64 is proceeding quite well (~260KB... I've seen worse), but if I try to click a link to download anything else, it won't respond.

I'm thinking there's some kind of code running back there to limit the number of clicks that actually make it back to the servers. I wouldn't mind grabbing Pro, too.

Not what I'd call a perfect solution, but if it helps keep the site up for more users, it's not too bad, actually.

Technically you wouldn't need pro, since each iso have the same sha-bang. You could try using pro key in ultimate edition. I haven't done it, so I can't really confirm anything.

so i have to dl both? that sucks. my speed is varying from 550 to 128

Well download what you think you NEED first. If your computer supports 64 bit, then go wild with 64 bit. if you need 32 bit, then have another computer download 32 bit while you download 64 bit and installing. The download should be done by the time y ou're done.

Even with Vista, they had downloads for each edition. I had MSDN for Vista few years ago, so this I remember. I'm pretty sure that they confirmed that Windows 7, like Vista, contains all editions, and is based on the product key. I think you can still download separate editions for vista, but that isn't the case for SP2

Yeah I think the seperate Vista editions are still there, but there was also all-in-one editions like that one I capped. But there's no such one in the 7 list. They're all single edition ISOs.

Just hoping that after all the things they've done right with 7 that they don't go and blow it at the last step.

I guess we'll know when someone tried to install Pro or Home off the Ultimate ISO or something like that.

Does anyone know - Will the Windows 7 Enterprise image here take the Volume License keys that will be released on the Volume Licensing site tomorrow for those of us with SA on the desktop??

Usually technet gives out retail copies. I think that it wouldnt work . Your better off waiting for the volume licensing download tommorrow.

      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.

      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.
