Sandor Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i have had 2 64 keys and 1 32.. all different i now have 8 keys from the official site. plugging them all into google shows them to be generic keys that lots of people are getting. seems like they decided individual keys for a free beta was silly. free for all now. keys available with ease Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/118/#findComment-590397194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueFox Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 So your saying they might have used their brain and realized this 2.5 million thing was ridiculous???BTW some of those keys are also 64 bit. They seem to be giving 32 bit in the 64 bit section and vice versa. I hope so.

SMELTN Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I wonder why they would make all the keys the same..If i activate it tomorow will they work? All the keys posted earlier I have aswell, doing a google search of my keys I found out they all are the same. Weird.. I activated mine last night, and it worked just fine.

Roger H. Veteran Posted January 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 10, 2009 Guess it's weird, the key i got yesterday (Jan 9th 2009) isn't on that list but all the ones today (only did it to prove this point) are the same as the ones listed on the list. Guess they are trying to make sure the keys are spread out instead of 1 guy having 30 of them for no reason. That way they can still get all these people who wants to activate (they'll be pooled into that list of numbers ahead) version others who will come later wanting to beta test as well.

ATLien_0 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 well judging by the number of people here trying to get the public beta, could this beta be more anticipated than the vista public beta.

Figuring everyone that has vista is eagerly waiting for this so their computer can finally be fixed after 2-3 years.

Maybe they noticed how everyone was trying to get a key and just gave up on the 2,5m keys idea?

" if they are all the same keys MS should have just listed them on their website, saving a whole load of hassle.
