So yeah, I'm trying to get a legit copy, and all it does is download a APAX file, and not too sure on what to do...is that a legit/legal question to ask?

Download the accompanying MS download manager. I forgot to tell everyone that the download part only works using IE but it is fast when it starts.

When you sign into technet and download, it should use MS download manager...so it might have to download and install that first.

EDIT: Bogmali you beat me to that answer.

A Cheese Danish · Jun 3, 2009

I mean, I'm singed it, but I go to Microsoft's download center. The files seems to be the right size and all,
but I would hate to have to get IE again...ugh lol

Check out the goods and this is just the OS menu :toast:

In the Vista, XP, and 7 Menu there is a drop list where you can choose what flavor you want to download.....X64, X86, Ultimate, Business and such...

Edit: nevermind, I believe I got it. But it was from Microsoft's direct download thing, so not too sure if it is the real deal.

You got it from Microsoft's direct download and you think it's not real?

Yummy deals. I signed up through viper's link and I gotta wait for 2 more emails, how did you guys get going so fast? Also, do the licenses expire when your subscription does?

I'm getting this error message

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

could the servers be overwhelmed?

bogmali · Jun 3, 2009

^^ Could be cause I just posted this on XS and you know how those folks over there can lynch :laugh:

twilyth · Jun 3, 2009

Good point.

According to the email

New Subscriptions
If this is a new subscription, once processing of your payment is completed, you will receive a second email confirmation. Within 48 hours of the processing of your payment, you will receive a third email with instructions for how to access your online benefits and additional program information.

So I guess I'll just have to wait until they "process my payment". :laugh:

NICE!!! Thanks so much for sharing this little deal. :toast:

Ditto. Excellent deal. I suppose you'll be wanting the customary 10% finder's fee eh? :laugh:

Anyway, that's what I get for following the destructions on the receipt page. I had to skipt the benefits portal and go right the link in step 3 - Technet benefits management.

I was going to dl server 2008, but i noticed that there is still an RC. Is this production software yet or still being tested? Sorry for being igerent.

blkhogan · Jun 3, 2009

If I was a little closer to Olympia I would personaly deliver you some cookies. :toast:

Bro how freakin' hot is it down there?

Darkgundam111 · Jun 3, 2009

WOW this is amazing!!!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH bogmali!!!!!! man this is some amazing offer here.

A little question on the OS, when you select download, it asks if you want to install, does this mean it installs the OS, or does it allow you to download it?

Thats really wierd.

Maybe I just got in early, I got a single email with my code and I was IN. :rockout:

LagunaX · Jun 3, 2009

Does this mean maybe a windows 7 that doesn't expire in march/june 2010?

DanishDevil · Jun 3, 2009

I didn't even get an email. It redirected me to a page with my code, and I got new keys and downloaded stuff within seconds from inputting my information.
