and now it tells me I have recive d the max keys allowed?

and all thi s after I cleand out a H D just for vista an d had to burn
the dam dvd 4 times before it would work now I cant get a key to try
it out#@!@#

ANd I have recive d no e-mails from ms witha key in it!

Yet another BLANK UP from Microsoft when will we learn?

Let me see.
You went to the Microsoft site, signed up to download the beta.
Microsoft issued you a key, yet you chose NOT to write it down???
Microsoft should have I believe also sent you an E-Mail with the key shown
in the E-Mail. What did you do with that E-Mail???
Then you went back to the Microsoft site, went through the same process, but
again you chose NOT to write the key down.
You DID however remember to print the screen.
However it sounds like before you checked your rintout (and realized it
didn't print the number in the box, you navigated away from that screen.
Ooops.

Now, after the multiple mistakes you made, you decide that it's all
Microsoft's fault????

Why don't you just hurry up and order the Beta on DVD? It usually arives
with 7-10 days, and not only will it come with a key that's already printed
on a lable, but by ordering the Beta-2 on DVD, you would get the RC1 version
automatically shipped to you at no additional cost when it's released.

First I down loaded it the first time and went off 2 work..Some of us e
have to work on like bill gates....and Guess what a automatic update from
xp was installed and rebooted my PC...so I did not have the key.

I went and got it a 2nd time printed it out but yes I did not look at it
for 3 days as I just did not have time ....

And when I did have time I see that for some reasion every thing but
they key was printed???

ANd I hav e recive d no E-mail from microsoft I looked in my junk e-mail
folder but nothing!

And I see no reasion to pay Billy boy 1 more BLANKING CENT!

so windows vista can go "Asta la Vista"

Have fun crashing your systems I have wasted to much time all ready on
windowz
I am going to convert to eaither linux or a Mac ..if i can scrape up the
$$$ for on e that is...

Baa Haa Haa!

It's painfully obvious their attention to detail is a bit lacking. They
don't take the time to read much of anything... instructions or printouts.
And then they threaten with going to Linux?! *snicker* Oh, I can just
imagine how well THAT would go down. *wicked laugh*

LOL - this is really funny. I have the unfortunate recurring experience of
working with someone who has a Mac. Yep, he has Microsoft Word for Mac, and
every time the rest of us e-mail him a script and he runs it through his
Crapple, the script comes back all screwed up.

So, get your Mac - they're really nice toys.

Now, if you can't write down a product key, forget Linux. Even Suse Linux
10, which is billed as one of the easiest-to-use desktop distros, is full of
command line installation requirements. I needed forum assistance just to
get the correct command line syntax to load the Linux driver for my nVidia
video card.

I played around with Linux for about 6 months. Vista is on the partition
where it used to be. IMO, Vista is going to be great. Aero Glass is
awesome. Then again, you have to have a video card that supports Aero
Glass. You better write that down.

Don't be so quick to criticize the Mac. I'm using both OS/X and XP Pro on a
MacBook Pro and it is impressive stuff.

For office-type business applications a Mac is crap.
