I just go my MSDN info this morning :)

From what I have read on RFD, they will not be releasing Ultimate RTM on MSDN. Since it's been confirmed that the keys are only tied to versions (Professional, Home, etc.), maybe you can find a traditional Chinese Win7 Professional and try use the keys on that?

SkinnyPupp, is your sister in highschool? I have a sister still in highschool and I am wondering how did it work out for you. I'm just assuming because your sister's young, that's why you helped her with it.

this is what i want to know too. Can I just download it off MS website and use the keys i got from MDSNAA...would the activation work out? If not where else can I find the software, torrents?

8 keys is more than enough..I want to let me parents use em too.

Can you get these keys and sell it on craigslist? or is that illegal?...

No, she goes to UBC. I did it for her because she has absolutely no interest in this :lol

^ Actually I've been telling my friends about this deal, but none of them seem to be really interested in it.

time to make friends with students... that don't care about computer shit.

got my keys today. great deal. why dont they offer it for ms office? whaddauthink?

Got my keys within the same day as well, I haven't read through the whole thread on RFD but it seems like some people are having problems burning the image?

Are you guys downloading directly from e-academy and its working fine?
Also, the 8 keys seem to work on any version of the Windows 7 so we just need to download the version we want to use and apply any of the 8 keys.

W7 Pro keys only for Pro, regardless of language, if that's what you meant by any version.

Yeah that's what I meant. I am just hoping that the burning process isn't gonna be troublesome, some people got corrupted ISOs :confused:

I'm sucha noob..I thought x86 was some new 86-bit OS lol
hopefully this will really work out

Has anyone figure out how to properly share a folder in Windows 7?

I tried turning on sharing for the Public folder in Advanced sharing properties, but it automatically grants access to my own user folder as well, meaning a user from another computer can access my person files.

In XP, it was just right clicking and sharing the Shared folder.

Right Click folder > Sharing > Share > Everyone > OK/Share.

However, if all your computers have W7, share as Homegroup, and have your other W7 computers enter the same password.

apparently they're no longer giving out Win7 keys.
d'oh I Just paid last night and they wont give refunds

Some are saying to wait until retail is out thats when they might get more keys
:(

Thank god I got to write down 7/8 keys by last night.

Is this considered fraud?

I mean, we paid for something, and now they say they don't provide it anymore.

Holy shit you're right! :lol

I only got 2 codes... But that's all I really needed. Actually I could use 1 more, so I am kinda fucked. Hopefully they get around to releasing more.

fuck that's what i get for procrastinating, who wants to be nice... in return i'll let you jerk me off, a few times, anyone?

haha...

I think we need to come to realize this is actually wrong. This is stealing. A crime. Why?

Upon payment, ACM has agreed to provide us with copies of Windows 7. That's the term. Before we pay, ACM is free to change the term to whatever it likes, such as taking Windows 7 out. BUT, after we have paid, our money become theirs, and whatever ACM has agreed on for our money is ours, and that is Windows 7. I have agreed to pay ACM $20, and ACM has agreed to give me Windows 7 for my $20. Now ACM decided it doesn't want to do that and takes it back. That's stealing.

Why am I ranting? Because I took my time and didn't get any keys :(

I'm going to call ACM up.

^I think the $20 is just the membership fee for ACM. To be able to download Windows 7 requires you to opt and get accepted into the program. Anyhow, it sucks that they no longer have them :(

Membership of ACM gets you MSDNAA access, not "copies of Windows 7". Nobody is "stealing" anything from you. You still have MSDNAA, but they no longer offer Windows 7.

not quite, slick. you paid for acm membership period. if it so happened you were a student (or could somehow prove to be a student) you got access to msdnaa as a 'bonus' lets say. they dont owe u jack.

:fuuuuu:

Somebody on RFD posted an alternative, but it costs $32 USD instead.

Oh, damn, I waited too long. I had this since last week, but I never got around to downloading Windows 7 until today. Now it's not available anymore :|.
