Windows 8 Pro - Media Center upgrade pack

[Defiant306]

Does anyone have a spare Media Centre Pack upgrade key that I could use please?

It seems that the upgrade page isn't working the now and I really would like to use the pack as I want to use Windows 8 as a HTPC OS.

If the emails from Microsoft start back up I'm happy to return a code for one

I think there's going to be a queue for these. I'm also after one.

What time did you apply last night?

I think I was at around 6pm and it hasn't arrived

Uninstalled media portal in prep for it arriving straight away. Looks like I'll be missing the big bang theory when I get back from work!

Microsoft is two faced, I don't think anyones will get media pack key (there are millions out there waiting for it)

I think it so stupid to wait in the longer queue, why does microsoft give away free if we pay upgrade fee. Rip off really in my view. But lucky me I got media pack keys within an hour yesterday .

I never got my email either

I just saw on windows 8 forum by microsoft, they say it take approx 24-48 hours to recieved media pack key because there is backlog in the server with million of requests.

Still waiting too. I'm also curious what happens with WMC activation if you have to reinstall Windows 8 for any reason after Jan 2013. I guess a system backup is called for?

Just do fresh install of win 8 activated, then add on media center and activated then back up with third party application and kept in the safe place for future reinstalling.

So you're saying Microsoft is two faced because people are impatient?

I don't think you know what two faced means do you?

Just enter in the WMC activation key after you've installed surely?
