majortom1981 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The other benefit is that you have access to ALL Microsoft's software although you're only allowed to use it for testing purposes. MSDN gives you the same thing but you can use the software for development as well as testing. Also you get 2 free microsoft help desk tickets. Which if you run a business network can save your butt. Plus The forums plus the knowledgebase and magazines and stuff on cd. Its well worth it. Only if you work in IT though.

devHead Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Apparently not. All the editions are listed seperately. They are all the same I would imagine (like Vista was). I think they just have them separated for separate key extraction. Of course, the x86 versions are different from the x64, but judging by the fact that each iso is exactly the same size (save for Enterprise), they all have the same 3 on one iso.

The Rev Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 SO I assume most people on here paid 250-500 dollars for a technet account, just to download windows 7 two months early? MS must be raking in the kiz-ash, eh? Or is there some other hidden benefit with technet. for the price, you get like 10 licenses per product, including Win7, all previous versions of windows, office, etc. they may have WANTED just 7 but they can get everything else too Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/807548-windows-7-rtm-now-available-on-technet-and-msdn/page/12/#findComment-591390582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pupdawg21 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 good point Yeah, I think all you really need to have all the Versions is both Discs of Enterprise (x86/x64) and both discs of Ultimate (x86/x64) and you would have the ability to install all of the editions of Windows 7.

If this is the case why do all the discs have different hashes? Did they change something in a file on this discs to determine version? 230KB/Sec here btw... - Dan Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/807548-windows-7-rtm-now-available-on-technet-and-msdn/page/12/#findComment-591390662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
