Griffin Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I finally managed to get a key so they still appearing to spontaneously work, (the x64 key link, though i'm sure the 32 bit one works too), my persistence has paid off, time for bed I thinkEdit: Sorry for Griffin, the https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx link worked Thanks for the info I'll just keep trying!

mart24x7 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Keep trying people... I just got a key from http://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx (x64) just had the page open and was doing something else on the internet and now and then just refreshed the page and got one. Though I am wondering if the Vista Beta keys work with this build as they did with the Pre-Beta 6801??? anyone tried???

redeemed Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Sorry about slow Neowin! we are getting hammered for the Windows 7 stuff Don't be sorry :) It happens and to be expected lol. At least the servers more or less coped with the traffic. Anyway, Neowin *has* been more responsive over the past 20 minutes or so.

Denis W. Veteran Posted January 9, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) The servers are getting hammered like nuts. :| The 32-bit download keeps timing out for me. I got 97% of the 64-bit ISO downloaded in just under 3 minutes 30 seconds (university internet connections ftw. up to almost 35-38 MB/sec for instantaneous download speed, average was 6-7 MB/sec. lol) but it decided to time out just right there. :( edit: Ding. 64-bit build done. ^_^ Edited January 9, 2009 by rm20010 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/76/#findComment-590392434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
