Free MS Technet subscription

Thought this might be worth a heads up to anyone interested:

It's only for 3 months but still worth a look if you're not otherwise subbed up. Won't go into too much detail, you'll know what it involves if you're already interested. No idea how long that link is valid for though.

aye looks like they've fixed an MS Cockup (tm)

 

[Starman]

No free Vista/Office keys then!

A huge cockup by MS.

Looks like people have generated plenty of Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Ultimate keys, although all the accounts are now disabled. I'm assuming that keys never get revoked, so looks like those who got the keys quick enough should be okay.

I got a few keys

Sadly didnt think to rape the keystore for all its worth as I didnt bank on it being revoked so quickly. Still, I wont be paying for windows 7 and it'll be a legit copy. Thanks, MS.

Chilly, how many legit W7 keys did you end up with? Wasn't aware of this and am not sure if teh uni will be giving it away free like they did with Vista. (Got Business free, never bothered installing it though)

 

[Yaka]

chully gis a win7 key shame i missed this

 

[nath]

I'll have a Win7 Key if you've got oodles of spare ones .

 

[Kryten]

lol, looks like Chilly's a millionaire or summut

 

[GReaper]

The Windows 7 keys were for the release candidate - so they're not going to work with the final release?

The XP/Vista/Office keys were more useful!

 

[nath]

You found it Kryt, you got any keys going wanting?

edit: Oh, not for final then not so bothered :\.

This is where you want keys from 1 key unlimited installs

And it looks like all the 7 keys on MSDN are just RC keys.

 

[Chilly]

ok so my RC key is worthless, never mind. I did get an office key tho ONE office key! (And some other random software I thought might be fun)

 

[MYstIC G]

Your first time going to MS site for a MS key?

 

[Kryten]
