I'm trying to get my license key to the new Windows beta, but I can't get past the damn 'loading' wheel.

Try it here: (x86 english)
https://profile.microsoft.com/RegSys...4f5a&lcid=1033

EDIT: Yay, got past the loading wheel, got to put on my name but it failed after that.

Well, it's apparently much better than Vista. And I'm not surprised, since there is a quota of 2,5mi downloads, so everyone is trying to get it as soon as possible. I'd think if anyone could handle that load would be MS, but I was wrong.

I thought that it was this afternoon when they release the beta. Anyways, that link gives me a "Server is too busy" message

Yeah, I thought that the beta went public at 12pm PST, unless you are a TechNet Plus subscriber (who has had it since Jan 7)

As a personal reason, I don't trust anything hosted on rapidshare. Guess I will have to wait until Microsoft's server have stopped being "too busy"

I'm pretty sure the torrent version is safe, it's MD5 matches the MS download the TechNet subscribers already have. But I'm really looking for the product key, not the download itself, since it will probably be VERY slow in the first hours.

Being a premium rapidshare user, I trust everything hosted on rapidshare
