Woah!! i was gonna say you guys are taking the mickey!!

But that just got me a key as well.

Hope were not all getting the same key though lol

Maybe its all the same key, what was it? Leave a few out so no one can use it.

EDIT: Its different? Great, work damn it.

The x64 key should work on up to 3 installs, on both on x86 and x64.

whats really stupid is as soon as i clicked download it redirected me to windows 7 home page, lucky i already had it downloaded.

It's dead now, too many people have used it, the servers must be overloaded again.

My 32-bit download just died too.

Just out of interest (I got one via the link above) did anyone get an email once you got to the BetaExperience page showing your code, which, would prove its tied to your Live acc. I didnt.

alex24 · 10 Jan 2009 at 01:45

Yeah i'm glad I have one now. Can someone post a confirmed working 32-bit ISO link please?

EDIT: Was using this one, but got cut off at 49%. It's going again now, but not reliable.

I've managed to download this but am having an absolute nightmare getting it installed! It keeps hanging on the during setup on expanding files it runs through copying files in a couple of seconds but never moves off 0% for expanding files.

Burnt 4 different copies, all with the same problem.

No one else had this issue?

Quick noob question here, does the Win7 installation menu let you set up a new partition or do you have to do this before you start installing?

I've never messed around with partitions before (always use a seperate physical disk) but at the moment i only have my os drive and a raid 1 array so i'm going to have to split the OS drive.

Damn thing wants me to add in some code to subscribe get a key :confused:
