Thank you. Nice find...

I was under the assumption that the Key you use determines which version of Windows installed. Since the beta keys were all for the Ultimate edition how can you install other versions if you don't have a Key for them? Or does this not matter because it's a beta Op system? I'am using Vlite disk of 7000 upgraded to 7048 and now moving to 7057.

I think that you can still use all the other versions, but they will only be good for 30 days.

You can still activate the other versions but i don't think me telling people how would be welcome here. Im sure you can work it out though with a bit of googling :)

Yes but without activation you get no updates. Why would anyone want to run a lesser version of Windows 7 anyway.

Hello chev65

Have you tried WU to see if you can get updates? The trouble people were having was with hacked versions and not being able to use WU, especially the "testing text" hack; and no, I'm not asking you if yours has been hacked up, just if you've tried WU before activation to see if it works for you. It does seem that with one of the earlier builds that I couldn't get to activate, I could get updates.

But you can activate them, just not using a 7000 key, and updates work just fine.. maybe i would install and activate professional because i have no tv card and never once use media center :)

Only 30 days? The 64bit 7000 Ultimate was installed here in early February and still boots up without any "you now only have..." this number of days to activate Windows.

In fact the download for that was finished before the 32bit 7. Once the retail/OEM producst are finally out I wouldn't expect that to be seen however since everything now is still in beta to RC form.
