+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted January 9, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted January 9, 2009 Some info on the use of Keys: A product key is a long sequence of letters and numbers that?s used to activate the Windows 7 Beta and ensure your copy is genuine. (See Activating Windows: frequently asked questions.) When you download the Beta you?ll be given a product key. (See Installing the Windows 7 Beta.) Be sure to use the product key to activate the Beta within 30 days, or the Beta?s functionality will be limited. Your product key will work for up to three separate computers, so if you want to install the Windows 7 Beta on another PC, you can re-use the same key. What happens if I lose my product key? If you lose your product key, just go back to the Download page and begin the installation process again. You?ll be asked to enter your Windows Live ID, and then you?ll see your product key you were originally issued. You can then use this product key to activate your software?you don't need to download the operating system again.

RageOfFury Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well after using it as my main OS for the past 2 days, I've decided to go back to XP. Win 7 is cute and all, but I get a lot a program and process crashes. Word 2007 crashes constantly and the only way to reuse it again is to reboot. Visual C++ 2008 crashes a lot also. Every time I open the control panel, some dll stops working and the whole control panel crashes. Windows Explorer has crashed a few times as well. Oh well, It's a beta after all so I knew I would encounter some problems. It's just the problems I encounter are way too annoying for me to stand on a daily basis.
