DomZ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You'd think of all the companies in the world, Microsoft would be the one prepared for such a huge amount of traffic. But I guess even giants falter sometimes. This happens everytime I major beta is released by them. I hate that its limited to 2.5m keys, it's making me paranoid.

Digitalx Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think it may be easier just to fork over some money for TechNet Plus and get it that way :laugh: Haha, Don't count on it man, different boxes same network you'll still only get barely dial up or network drop out speeds. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/50/#findComment-590390098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Haha, Don't count on it man, different boxes same network you'll still only get barely dial up or network drop out speeds. ;) My boss has TechNet and is downloading at 533Kbps right now. Faster than what I'm doing, which is nothing since I can't get the site to work :p So yeah, it would be faster.

Digitalx Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Vista CPP program still had over 250,000 users i'm not sure on exact numbers but still just as much they did warn after it. "We nearly crashed the internet" so that's how heavy it was. Now can we get apple fans and linux fans to come in and F5 these servers too just so we can try crash interwebz :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/50/#findComment-590390152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
