Ahaha! Downloading at 510K! Downloaded in a little under an hour and a half, smoke y'all!

Is there a CD key you need? When I went to the Microsoft page, I didnt see anything about CD Keys.

I got it at 55K, hopefully in 15 hours

If my network was working, it would be downloading at 500ish kbps. But it isn't, so I am stuck with my neighbor's, at like 60kbps.

 

[Burgerbob]

Use download accelerator plus, it doesn't screw up when downloading and its faster.

It's the Beta 5536 version.

 

[speedyink]

Downloading now. Is there any possible way for me to get a cd key? I didn't download the public beta 2

 

[wicked859]

Downloading at 371 kb/ps, so should be done in roughly 2 hours , will post back with results.

It still works for me. Does the error come up before or after the java aplet loads?

 

[amolyneaux]

Anyone else get an error 'windows cannot determine if this computer is compatable'?

Not here.

I've been using the new BETA and I really like it, soon i'm going to install some games and apps and see if I can use it for a primary OS (which I doubt).

 

[mrjack]

Where's the product key? If I can't get one I'll probably just test Vista and then install SuSe instead of it afterwards.

 

[Geoff]

Where's the product key?

You need to use the CD-Key that you got when you downloaded the previous release. I ran into the same problem, but luckily a friend was able to give me their CD-Key.
