How to Get Your Windows 7 Beta 1 on Friday

what would be a good time to start trying again?

I might as well try it more..lol ive been at it this long

i wud .....really appreciate if someone can provide me a key........can't try coz i'm on sucking dial-up........plz i'll be so thankful........thanks

Holy Sh**. I just got another key with my other live account. 3 pages out of 8 got displayed.

Their servers seem to be working now maybe because US and UK is sleeping and load is lower if not low.

Cheers !

So is it better to open multiple pages and reload them all, or open multiple tabs? Or is it better to just keep refreshing one page?

Multiple tabs worked for me on IE and Firefox. Just right click on one tab and select "Refresh All" / "Reload All" and then wait for ALL the pages to stop loading before you try again.

The pages that get displayed (with key) take longer to load than the pages which show the error message.

ok so do tabs with keys look any different than keys with the error?

Noob question here, but which page are you refreshing?
I keep getting:

Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we’re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We’re sorry for the delay and we’ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.
