Too bad I don't do torrents

Newsgroups.

I hope you can too! This is getting so far out of hand with all the leaks ... certain *builds* are given to beta testers for their testing purposes, such as Developers.

I will continue on with build 7000 and report back with my findindings, as I won't be goaded into downloading from an un-official torrent.

The rest of you can enjoy as you see fit.

we are hopeful...

I find you calling any of my releases fake or tampered with offensive.

wow there hold on...
she has never said such a thing...

Ok guys. Lets not let this conversation turn into anything else.

Well, M$ does keep giving out valid keys that work for these "leaked" builds. I generated new keys from TechNet for 7057 x86 & x64. If M$ "really" wanted to put a stop to these "leaked" builds being used and activated by non-official BETA testers, they would blacklist the keys.

yeah maybe they are also lazy to change the keys...
this does remind me of the good vista beta and RC1 days (while the Beta key were different from RC they did keep the same keying with RC's...
i believe its really a pain to rekey everything...

Um, no... there are only 10 keys, how can they blacklist them? They are the same ones for 7000 on up, so you don't need to go get new keys every build, the same ones you have (one of the 10 total there are) already work. Microsoft doesn't care about these leaked builds at this point anyways. They only care early on in the alpha stages, and rightfully so.

yep on the early stages they were actually giving out different keys (which is where 1.5 million if remember or somewhere)
what Diamond is saying is that now there are no more unique keys offered....

Blah ... they aren't that deadly, just man up and download it already.

well my school blocks the bittorent protocol so oh well...
its not that they might be deadly but downright blocked by a few places (which would have legitimate reasons of course... techinically its there network and at any moment they can do with it anything they want including blocking acess to some protocols and even packet sniffing (which i believe have not been issued as i havent seen a big decrease in network speed (which would be the effect of such thing...))

The 64bit 7 Ultimate here has been on since the official betas were released without activation since there are no 64bit drivers available for dsl here. It still boots up however while having been installed before the 32bit 7. That will of course change once the finished product is out.

Having just installed all new updates on thursday I went back a day later to see more. That's with the 32bit 7000 build activated there seeing support.

Plus using the MS downloader you see everything verified by that for integrity over using a torrent. If the download is interrupted it will pick up where it left off to insure everything is intact on arrival. In fact I just ended up downloading the 7 Server 2008 to look that one over.

Yeah torrents are even better at picking up where you left off, but yes I understand.

I personally have 7 "unique" keys.

I have 5 of them, and 10 that everyone has. They stopped the unique key thing on day 2.

we are hopeful...

Yeah, thanks DA. And I suppose if it is blocked, then its blocked.
