They were letting only the first 75,000 to signup, download it ... I don't know how I was able to get in that group

I guess I got it just in time within the limit, because it stopped allowing downloads a few hours after I downloaded it, sometime yesterday (the 24th).

I think i was the last one to download it. Because just after 5 minutes of downloading the setup file, i tried to download it again and they said that they have stopped it.

Took a surprisingly long time to reach the pretty small limit. I was more than 12 hours "late" (just forgot about it - the definition of a good AV program!) and didn't even know there was a limit - but still seemed to be available for more than 24 hours after that.

Guess this is all a big deal for us but hardly anyone else cares!

As to the set-up exe, I wonder whether it is shareable after all that gerfuffle signing up to get it?

Anyone know? - coz if it works I'd be happy to share it to you guys.

One way to find out, I'd imagine it would work seeing as you don't need to sign into any account during the 'setup process'.

I should probably get another copy (since I deleted mine) just incase.

I'm guessing that more than 75000 downloads were made available. Anyway, MSE has leaked to torrent sites so you can always download there.

Yeah, that is where most people will get it. Along with the nice people here who share the love

That and I am 64-bit =D

My days of 32-bit ended when I got this laptop.

"Feedback" for bugs in this issued Beta is what MS wants ... If you're not able to to help out, then it's really not worth much to download from torrents.

I am sure most of us who will use MSE plan to report bugs if seen/experienced. Though my primary reason for using MSE was I do not want to download AVG, nor pay the price of any other AV product.

Was able to download all three versions. Vista (X86/64) and XP. Not sure what to do with the XP version (don't run XP). I would PM, however, being a little slow (two strokes) not sure how to PM someone. (Probably fairly easy.)

Thank You TechEd.

You can PM people by doing one of the two following methods (yes it is easy)

1. Find one of their posts and click their name then 'Send Private Message'.

2. Go to their public profile and click their name then 'Send Private Message'.

Or from here too:

Just enter their name followed by a ;
It will usually auto finish entering the name when you add the first couple of letters of the user name.
