"wink wink, nudge nudge" is it that time already?

very good just noticed the time

 

[ramoine]

That's why the servers are down right down .
They're on break !

 

[wheresjerry]

Has anybody gotten past the error page yet?

 

[garbanzo]

Silly question, but the e-mail confirmation you are all referring too is for signing up to windows live is it not?

Or am I missing another bloody thing to sign up to? :shock:

no, there's a different one. you pick which version you want (32bit or 64bit) then fill out a form with your name and stuff. then you get an email with a new link. that link takes you to the page where you get a serial (but it says everyone went home and you have to try again tomorrow)

Me too... when I get a page, the text "Server is too busy" replaces it automatically. :\

EDIT

NO!!!! I had a login page!

They all went home to play with Linux ! LOL

I got to the profile page, verified my information, then it crapped again.

Thanks mate. I got to that form, but since I already a LiveID, I didn't get a confirmation e-mail. At least I'm refreshing the right page

This thread has to be the quickest growing thread on this forum by far

This is how far I get until the error message....any further anybody?

 

[mansrm81]

Okay got a new message ! " An unknown error occurred while processing your request. This is most likely due to a connection failure. Please try again."

So it's just a connection error now , you gotta love progress .

you know, it's still not after noon in california yet. in fact, it's only 9:30 am there. we're probably wasting our time.

 

[jackdelamare]

I'm right there, signed up and everything, but it goes to the server too busy page. Quite a lol.

 

[smarteyeball]

I'm waiting for the "STOP HITTING REFRESH!" error message

 

[ramoine]

Okay , I have this page up right now : Welcome to Windows 7 , when I click on the subscribe to Windows Blog it says server error as well .

They must be going crazy !

It's Saturday 3:40am here so by the time I go to bed and wake up it will be all over

Or they might not have even issued the first product keys

Exactly what I'm worried about too

Yea it sounds like it, but maybe we do need to wait till 12PM PST which would mean 3 PM my time EST. So figure out what time zone your in & start your downloading then, M$ wouldn't want to make us mad because we would take their arses down quick like.
