Yes, that's the case here too... I got 6-7 live accounts, including my girlfriend's , my brother's, my sister's, etc... I need 4-5 keys cause I run multiple installations for beta purposes, network tests,etc it's my job...

That seems kinda weird. Normally all those kind of installs would never be past 30 days (especially not past 120) so stealing beta chances from other end users to activate machines that don't need to be activated is shady in my opinion.

Oh ... not to mention you supposedly can use 1 key on several machines!

Off topic but , with my specs will I see much in speed using the 64 version . I'll be installing more ram in a couple of wks ?

Only if your going to at least 6GB and probably not enough to make it worth it.

Well, if the 64bit activates 32bit, then it's faster to create 5-10 windows live accounts and get 10x 64 bit, than refresh for hours.....

Too bad right now you can't create Windows Live ID's ... that system is down, probably because so many people are finding out they have to have one (or are trying to make extras to steal all the keys)

I can't seem to get thru with windows updates, must be all the activity.

Yup, other Microsoft services (like Windows Live) are failing now too.

Why not keep trying? It works fine. And there is already an activation crack, has been for days. But those kind of things always screw up the OS (not to mention we can't talk about them here).

Um, you should see that a lot, just keep refreshing. :) Make sure you signed in with your windows live ID first too.

Funny will be to see tomorrow that there will be plenty of keys left...and the connection speed will be normal....
