Yes, it's a whole new version of Windows, in beta form. Put it on a separate drive with nothing else on it to try it out.

You can run it in a Virtual machine, or create a new partition using Acronis, a Linux Live CD or other methods, and run it off a boot menu. In other words, you don't have to overwrite your current OS to try it out.

i use it as my only os, i didnt like vista when it came out and xp just looks gay

How long refreshing did it take to get it?

H82LUZ73 · Jan 10, 2009

I used c4c (check 4 changes ) plug in for FireFox ....https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3028

took maybe 3 refreshes with it at 5 secs .....

Cheers, plenty of time to test (install) then.

Download pooped @ 1.6GB and firefox couldn't resume.. Well speed was good 350KB/s, while it lasted. Torrent to the rescue and 50.8% data was fine. Like it has been mentioned before, they really should offer torrent option for anything big. No wait/slots/disconnects/corrupt data, it just works. And they get the added plus of way less bandwith usage as people give a big part back.

I've refreshed for hours

(well not constantly, but at least a 100 times over many hours).

alexp999 · Jan 10, 2009

Just setup ff and cfc to autmatically refresh but I get the feeling I'm not going anywhere

. Do I need silverlight installed or something?

H82LUZ73 · Jan 10, 2009

no sliver light here just registered at technet then did like you guys refresh after refresh for like an hour then installed c4c and like 3 refreshes later got my 64bit key.

Here is proof,you guys did use a legal email when you registered ,I have 1 more email i could use and give that key to you ....But i have a feeling all the public keys are the same...will see.....

alexp999 · Jan 10, 2009

Keep getting sent to smart error page followed by live search after roughly 10 refreshes.

This sucks.

But the actual page you were refreshing with c4c, was it:

https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/productkeys/win7-64/enus/default.aspx

H82LUZ73 · Jan 10, 2009

try to re copy paste the link for from helmers ,I am going to try my other email account and see if i get s diff key.

Plz PM me it if you get one, I cant just leave c4c either cus every now and then it drops out to a search engine so I have to repaste link.
