I got a 64bit key ending in FQF4M which after looking at various posts here seems to be a repeated key

&

a 32bit key ending in K8HDH, which I haven't seen repeated yet..... anyone got this?

The Windows 7 Beta only supports Windows Vista SP1 to Windows 7 upgrades. So if you intend to do an upgrade – be sure it is on a PC running Windows Vista with Service Pack 1. We are not yet announcing anything regarding finalized upgrade paths for Windows 7.

Bah!

I'm still on XP Home.

That#s is only if you are going to upgrade it, for a full installation it wont matter what OS you have!

Why are you lot worried about if your keys match? It's a beta. Microsoft won't care.

Because you can only activate it a few times? So if they are giving the same keys out to everybody can you not see a problem with some activating?

was that with one of the keys that has just been handed out to everybody?

They could be issuing it as a Volume key instead.

Electronic Dave · 10 Jan 2009 at 15:57

I was able to activate mine over the telephone via robot lady...online doesn't work (error code) probably because servers are swamped?

Its a toll free number anyway

After all the wooha I've finally got it all sorted. My codes are mostly the same as already posted.
