The "Official" RC download for Technet/MSDN

[weh]

I've just discovered something strange: 3 different people who got product keys at 3 different times, each logged into their own MS "live" accounts, got IDENTICAL product keys for both Win.7.x86 and Win.7.x64 -- how strange is that ???

I'll check back tomorrow after someone has downloaded & compared the hashes as this is all pointless until then.

I for one hope they are the same so I don't have to reinstall.
But if need be, so be it.

Now off to do some gaming which this OS is very good at!!!
Until then...later all!

I cant get to my subscriber downloads on MSDN?
Is it overloaded? Normally I am straight in?

I'm getting an error every time I try to log into my technet

 

[wguimb]

Yes, both sites are extremely overloaded. Don't worry you will have ample opportunity later today, tomorrow, the next day, etc... If you have the original leaked ISO by Einsteinjr, then you have exactly the same ISO already. I'm sorry that the folks who were wishing it would be a different image come today have to now admit we were correct about the leak.

BTW, the partner web page leaked a week ago is now live.

Betas of Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC

Is there somebody with Technet or MSDN access who could check if the Betas of Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC are available too?

Thanks.

 

[Skaune]

If someone could get hold of and share the new WAIK it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see them. I thought I read that they won't be available until the RTM version.

In this news Windows 7 RC Brings Windows XP Mode Beta and Windows Virtual PC Beta - Available on April 30 - Softpedia
they say it should be released too with the RC.

I will be a very long wait for the public, unless there is a big increase in server capacity?
