re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
I`ll refrain from cracking any "life without walls" gags,even though the irony of everyone chasing keys is rather funny. 
But to be fair......

Having had a wee look via Virtualbox i was quite surprised to see a Windows install(that wasn`t a fresh XP) using less than 256Mb of the 1G of memory i gave it.

I think your right, Just getting either page cannot be displayed or page you are looking for cannot be found.

Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we’re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We’re sorry for the delay and we’ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.

That's what it says now.

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
The Windows Blog says:
Update on Windows 7 Beta Availability
Due to very heavy traffic we’re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I’ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
I downloaded the iso very quickly last night, but deleted it as my old laptop doesn't have 1g memory, also there would have been no point if a key wasn't available.

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
I got the iso, all I need now is a key for the 64bit version.

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
For info, from my technet page:
Quote:
File Name: update_for_windows_7_beta_x86_kb961367.msu
MP3 files
When MP3 files are added (either manually or automatically) to either the Windows Media Player or the Windows Media Center library, or if the file metadata is edited with Windows Explorer, several seconds of audio data may be permanently removed from the start of the file. This issue occurs when files contain thumbnails or other metadata of significant size before importing or editing them. To avoid this, take the following steps:
To protect your MP3 files
1. Before you install this Beta release, back up all MP3 files that might be accessed by the computer, including those on removable media or network shares.
2. Install the Beta release of Windows 7; then install this update (KB961367).
If you do not want to install the update, you can avoid this issue by setting all MP3 files that might be accessed by the computer to read-only before starting either Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center or before editing MP3 metadata with Windows Explorer. To do this, in Windows Explorer, find the files, right-click them, click the General tab, and then select the Read-only check box. Once you have installed the update, you can safely reset the read/write status of your MP3 files to your preference.
