Once you get past busy servers, and its shoudl give you the product key and download it says error.
We have all had it on the previous pages, lol.

So waiting for the public release atm,

T-minus 52mins and counting!

I wish they'd distribute it via torrent because a normal DL through internet explorer or Opera will most likely fuck up half way through

 

[insider]

Yep the download connection will likely be cut half way through the download, the main issue here is getting the beta keys, the official ISO will be uploaded by someone onto torrent sites later tonight I'd imagine.

Well since I live in the US the download should be ok for me. But since your in the UK i bet it will crap out.

Didn't they have a File downloaded specificly (you did not have to use it) for vista RC1? Or am I crazy and not remembering things right now...

 

[alexp999]

The files are already on torrent sites We all just need the beta keys.

 

[A Cheese Danish]

And how are these keys acquired?

 

[insider]

I have a key, just not from Microsoft but it works

 

[alexp999]

And how are these keys acquired?

Once you sign upto the beta you will be given a key which licences the beta until August 2009.

But they are only giving out 2.5mil keys. :shadedshu

 

[smartali89]
