I had to click the download link 3 times before it started, it would re-load the page, giving me a new product key, then sit there.. Finally on the third time it launched the downloader and started downloading

Didn't Microsoft close down the beta page for a while because of heaps of downloaders?

Those Win 7 downloads must be going slow as heck.

Well you can sign up for it on the Windows website and it gives you a key. I don't suppose key's are such a big issue if theres only 2.5 million people allowed to use the beta. Its free, so they're giving the keys away on the microsoft website just before you hit download.

Drivers for ethernet wouldn't work

It seemed about the same speed as XP to me.

I didn't want to mess with my harddrive on my laptop

They have now removed the 2.5million download limit, and it is open until 24th January.

You if you still want it, you've got just under 2 weeks left
