Windows 7 Beta! Well, sort of ...

[outsdr]

So, I'm at the Microsoft Beta site, trying to download the Windows 7 Beta. This is also the page that gives me my Windows 7 installation key that I should print for my records. But the download is not working, so I figure I'll log out, sign back and try again.

Except every time I hit log out, the page refreshes and generates a new Windows 7 key for me. Leaving me logged in. And still unable to download.

I have five different Windows 7 keys now, and no Windows 7, and no way to log out ...


Microsoft, I am not yet impressed.

Hey, I've heard those same symptoms from someone else today -- are you using Internet Explorer to download? That's what fixed it for my coworker, although he had to install IE under Wine, since he runs Linux.

Yeah, I ended up doing that. Figures that MS would have a problem with Firefox. Or Safari. Or that I was downloading on a mac in the first place.
