Microsoft Announces Availability of Windows 7 Beta and Windows Live

[gforce23]

Yay! Got 2 bloody keys in the space of 5 seconds, thanks to C4C in FF and auto-reload in Opera10.

Life's so good!

In case anyone's wondering, I used this link in IE8, Chrome, Opera10 and FF 3.0.5: https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperi...s/default.aspx

LMAO!!! It looks like the MSFT server is back up. Just got a third key!

[QwertyManiac]

Got mine as well. Will get the ISO soon too.

[paragkalra]

Thank u so much Vishal....after trying for 24 hours finally I got the serial key....

I have got couple questions for Vishal and others....

1. At present I am downloading the ISO from the link given by Vishal......How does the ISO provided by Vishal differs from the one present at the serial key page....???

2. Even if I use the ISO provided by Vishal and use the serial key which I just got...I will still be the genuine Windows user at least till August...right Vishal?

[cool_techie_tvm]

Gave a try just now and got the key on the first try itself...now thats what i call luck

Thanks VG for the links

Edit : Got another key just now after seeing the succeeding post. Maybe the server is back online.

[anispace]

Anyone installed the 32bit version here? I am getting a weird error, check @ The Official Windows 7 Discussion Thread

[sachin_kothari]

[red_devil]

EDIT :

after the 5th key, all the next keys that i'm getting are the ones that i got earlier... just the order differs...

anyone else getting that error which @debsuvra is getting ??

i dont wanna waste any bandwidth in downloading that OS only to find that 32 bit install doesn't happen properly !!

[anispace]

arey bhai thode product keys doosro ke liye bhi bachake rakho...I am unable to get even one.

[red_devil]

^ arrey yaar , just use the site that someone gave in the 4th page or something [not the VG's site...its some other site...]

use the info on that n get the keys easily.. [ i got it on my first attempt.. luck ? i dont know ]

What did u use to burn that ISO?

Noobish question I know, but almost everything did not work in my case. Every app is burning the disk but it is not bootable. I checked the image integrity with it's MD5 and it is just OK. I can't get the problem here.

[anispace]

@n6300

haha thanx... got 5 of em.

edit:: now just have to download that 3.2GB ISO

[kalpik]

Pals, thr is no sidebar, how to enable it

There is no sidebar in 7.. Just gadgets..

[ionicsachin]

@DebSuvra...
I directly mounted the ISO with Daemon, and began installing it...i know thats little foolish coz it might have asked for Disk later, but it didnt ask...everything is fine save this sidebar thing

[redhat]

took me 2 days of hard work, but finally i found a Windows 7 genuine key!!
2 days i couldnt find even 1.. now that i got it, i got 4 license keys!!!
Kudos to Vishal Gupta and all the others who helped...

[ionicsachin]

Abt the sidebar...found the solution in help section

Alright, I've got so many keys that I don't know what to do with them. I just posted 4 on another board and have another three in addition to the two that I've kept for myself. If anyone's still looking for a key, post a request right here and I'll PM it to ya.

Requests via PMs shall not be entertained. I've had to clean my in-box twice over the past couple of weeks and it's not something that I particularly like.

[gary4gar]

Finally GOt keys, all thanks to amitva

Posting this from IE8, windows 7 BETA Built 7000

On Windows 7 beta now and posting this from Firefox 3.0.5 on it

[Vishal Gupta]

Now Microsoft has finally updated the official Windows 7 website page with download links. Open following link:

Download Windows 7 Public Beta

Scroll down to bottom and you'll find drop-down boxes to select your language to download Windows 7 beta.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available in 5 languages.

Everything is running fine now and you'll not see any server busy error.

I get to the product key page and nothing happens when I click on Download Now. Firefox does some progress in the status bar and shows done. thats about it, nothing more, no pop-up window or downloads. Clicking Instructions opens in a new tab but not this.



using Firefox on Linux.

You need Windows only to download it or what...?

[paragkalra]

@blondie

Same here...Using Firefox on Ubuntu 8.10...nothing happens after clicking "Download Now"....

Jesus Christ...when will Microsoft grow up...!!!!
