Whatever. GO back to your linux
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.

In the future you might want to do a better job of educating yourself before spouting stupidity. Genuine advantage phones home to get updated lists of pirated product keys and doesn't include personal information in the transmission. If you don't have a pirated copy of Windows then it doesn't interfere with anything you're doing.
As for "desperation" MS is simply opening their long-standing corporate beta testing program to the public and its evidently being very well received. If anything its the public who "desperately" wants to get their hands on the new OS.
I for one appreciate being let in on this stage of it's developement. They didn't 'have' to do it. I've never gotten to test an MS OS before getting it like this. I've been kinda skeptical on whether I actually want to fork out the dough for it and this will help me decide before shelling out.
Exactly. Like most of MS' projects, feature sets are based on customer requests, usually made by corporations. This public beta will let MS hear from the public about what works and what needs to change before the final product ships.

edit: BTW, I've been trying to get the 64 bit version as well and can't find a good link anywhere. All the ones I've tried are busy or access denied. I knew I should have gotten that one first.

I suppose you have to get a seperate key for each version?
