I've watched that stupid site all day. I have the ISO. Where/how do I get myself a key? And so far, a lot of apps I've tested work.

Most versions of Outlook insert hard line breaks to wrap lines in all plain text messages you send. It tries to do this at spaces, but if there aren't any spaces (like in a URL), it will just chop up the line. (Most other mail programs will leave long lines intact if there aren't any spaces to wrap on.) Workarounds include: * Use another mail program (always, or just for that message) * Use HTML format in Outlook (always, or just for that message) * Adjust Outlook's line wrap width (location of the setting varies) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Re: Windows 7 On TechNet Now
Most of the incompatibilities I have seen have been related to IE8 - the Google Toolbar, for one. In all honestly I would focus on programs that needed to be updated to work with IE7 - if they are sensitive to the web browser release on the machine, and you're testing a newer OS with a newer web browser...

I haven't, nor have I heard of any. Because Win7 isn't fundamentally different from Vista, I'd be surprised if it broke apps that were Vista-compatible. Which is why people who are skipping Vista to wait for Win7 aren't going to see huge advantages to waiting, as far as I can tell.

I did a URL scan of the download page, and it's down in 30 locations and 5 countries that I tested. Why don't they just embrace bit torrent and alleviate their network congestion? Put the saved money from hosting and bandwidth into developing a product activation system that doesn't get cracked in the first 5 minutes of their release.

RE: Windows 7 On TechNet Now
BITS can do peer-to-peer and I know it can do the multiple-master thing; but I can't claim to be anything close to an expert on it.

It can be securely exposed (so say the white papers), but I've never done it. I'm not qualified to compare BITS to BT, but I think it's a neato technology to have built-in to Windows.

And doesn't BITS in Vista SP1 have the capability of doing peer-to-peer file sharing, just like BitTorrent does? Microsoft could release a stand-alone BITS client to let people without Vista download big things like this Win 7 Beta. They could even offer a stand-alone BITS *server* for other companies to use. That would be downright useful. (Just to tie in to a previous topic in this thread: But instead of that, Vista gives us transparent window trim.) More than likely, the assumption is that most folks are not going to want to wait for a couple of days while BITS transfers huge files in the background. BitTorrent can generally deliver a 650 MB CD image in around ten minutes on my nuttin' special cable Internet feed. And unlike conventional file transfer methods, the more people downloading a torrent at once, the *faster* it goes. I dunno if BITS was intended for that kind of massive share swarm, high-speed transfer though. BitTorrent has caused a lot of cheap routers and network drivers to fail under the load it can generate. Trying to use BITS that way might violate the design assumption. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

Re: Windows 7 On TechNet Now
My understanding is that they keys given out via MSDN are good for 10 activations. Dunno about TechNet. And yes, you have a 30 day grace period before a product key - or activation - is absolutely required... Ben Scott wrote: As far as activation goes, you don't need to activate right away. And I wouldn't even be surprised if Microsoft doesn't actually cap the license activations by count (it would be messy due to leaks like this). -- Phil Brutsche p...@optimumdata.com ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

RE: Windows 7 On TechNet Now
Since the other beta's are out... I really like the new task bar. I'm not sold on the new Start button. Otherwise - it's very much like Vista sp2. Except that it uses less memory. At idle, my Vista system uses about 850 MB. At idle (pretty much the same startup applications), Win7 uses 500 MB. Speed-wise - I don't detect any appreciable difference. But I've got pretty fast machines already. I have found a couple of pretty obvious bugs, so I don't consider it production-ready. Regards, Michael B.
