well this will be on the bittorent sites anyway probably within a few hours....which is either really brilliant of microsoft or really dumb....i find it odd that technet people didnt get a first crack, i mean those of us running small outfits whom cannot afford the premium service fees.


It's been on technet for days (if you have a sub)

Same here, although it wasn't half way through, more like 3%.

This sucks, the pages aren't there now, seriously, is that it? Is it completely over or are they going to re-do it, cause that was a dissapoinment, none of us got keys?

I guess we'll just have to keep extending our license to 120 days.

Bizarre - the main page we are supposed to go to gives no indication at all about how to get it - doesn't even mention it.

Posting the provided link - thanks John - into anew window - you get a Akamai download manger - whatever that is - and it doesn't work.

Tried rebooting to get rid of the dozens of instances in Task Manager - but it is still on my desktop .

yeah well, i have a total of 3 employees besides myself and technet premium i can't afford, still i know a lot of engineers/techs whom dont hit the technet tours anymore and there is a reason for that.
