+John. Subscriber¹ Posted January 9, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 9, 2009 You'd think that with it being MS and all, they'd have some idea of server structure and how to maintain, even for massive demand. For instance, if 2.5m keys are available, have resources for 2.5m+ people trying to get keys. Surely that makes sense.

scaramonga Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I already sent them a nasty email. Good. Lets hope they blacklist your email address and prevent you getting any key for acting like a spoilt little brat.

Raptor7 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Good for you! Now they can stop working on the Beta issue and take time out of their day to read your whining.I'm sure they will hand-deliver a key to your door with their most sincere apology for any inconvenience their free beta software may have caused you.

(Spork) Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think you keep missing the point. In a nutshell, MS is one of the biggest corporations in the world. It's an absolute joke that they have never been able to deliver on time since the dawn of civilization. Windows is the single most important piece of software in the world and shapes every single one of our daily lives. Because of their monopoly, if you want a computer like everyone else has, you have to take whatever they shove up your ***. That is why we are so ****ed that they can' t even deliver a public beta without their servers crashing when they have 100 to the 100000 exponent resources to make this work correctly and like i said, it's an absolute joke that they can't. all i see here is WAAAAAHHHHH WAAAAHHHH !!! freaking babies Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/75/#findComment-590392310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Burger Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think you keep missing the point. No, you're missing the point. It's a free limited beta. It's not critical or even necessary if you get it. Stop acting like a child yelling "MIKKKRO$$$OFT!!!!!!!!" and get over yourself. Sorry they don't actually have the "infinite" resources (that cost money, mind you,) you thought they had.

jmc777 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Better go ahead an make that appointment with your doctor to check on those worn out vocal cords you will have by the end of the day.And its amazing how people complain about free software, or anything free in general. It's FREE. The person or company providing it has no obligation to do anything for you at all to begin with so complaining to them is not going to change anything. I am sure they already are well aware of the inconvenience, hence the post on their windows blog sort of apologizing for the delay. Calm down Mr.Serious! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/75/#findComment-590392316 Share on other sites More sharing options...

raskren Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 i Sent em a letter of complaint for having to wait and not ofering a new schedule to when it will be available, also for only allowing to get 2.5mil keys, thats why the traffic is high and we can't download it. This just boggles my mind. They're attempting to provide wildly popular software for free and hosting downloads of the software (also for free) and you're complaining?

Exactly the reason why all of us are waiting to get a key to begin with, otherwise it wouldn't matter. But, just in case some of us do not get one in time, good to know there are working patches. Personally, since the feedback works without activating, I might just use the rearm code a few times and hope RC gets released before time is up.
