Confirmed. Keys are all the same.

That's a real shocker. :huh:

I was expecting a more complex method of distributing keys, but I guess they want everyone to just try it and give whatever input they can. And it begs the question why MS will cap the beta downloads at 2.5mm if they were going this route.

It's on Connect but not for me. I have not been invited this time... :(

So I will wait and see if I can download the 64bit version on friday.

Public download link will appear on: Windows 7 - Public Download

It is on Connect for everyone who was initially invited to the beta. I was so I can download both x86 and x64 and have a serial for both. This is awesome. Now I have to wait though for Windows Server 2008 R2. Should be awesome.

Sadly I am not one of the privileged when it comes to msdn, connect, or technet. I want to test this on my main PC (All my documents are on seperate HDDs) and on an older PC, which still has XP sadly!

I have the leaked x32 bit version which I have tested in Virtual PC, and will replace XP with, and am downloading the x64 bit one now, to test on my Main machine.

My question is...

Can I use my Vista Product ID Key for the Win7 build, or will I just have to wait till Friday?

You will need a new valid key for the beta.

I don't know the precise situation with MSDN and TechNet, but for Connect, my understanding, as per other Windows betas on Connect, is that each user has an individual key. They wouldn't make you hit "Request Product Key", wait a few seconds, and get the key, if all users were assigned the same key.

Annoys me there is no dual-monitor support at all. The simple dual-monitor setup has vanished from the ATi drivers and UltraMon is a no-go.

Now my secondary monitor which is on the left, extends to the right :|

That's weird. I just bought a new monitor to work in conjunction with my laptop and everything works fine with my nvidia card. I have my laptop on the left and it extends the correct way.

Nvidia's drivers seem to be a lot more functional, ATi just keeps releasing these crap drivers.

EDIT: oh KeR, I love you man :laugh: Thanks (Y)
