See why you got confused, lol. Tho all the online world time sites, dont have Pakistan standard time as PST, they all have PST as pacific stanrd time which is how I have always known it.

A Cheese Danish · Jan 9, 2009, 06:01 PM

So everyone is on the same page, there should be about 1 hour left until it is available

Once you get past busy servers, and its shoudl give you the product key and download it says error.
We have all had it on the previous pages, lol.

So waiting for the public release atm,

T-minus 52mins and counting!

Totally true. T-minus 48mins and counting!

oli_ramsay · Jan 9, 2009, 06:15 PM

I wish they'd distribute it via torrent because a normal DL through internet explorer or Opera will most likely fuck up half way through

Jan 9, 2009, 06:25 PM

Yep the download connection will likely be cut half way through the download, the main issue here is getting the beta keys, the official ISO will be uploaded by someone onto torrent sites later tonight I'd imagine.

Didn't they have a File downloaded specificly (you did not have to use it) for vista RC1? Or am I crazy and not remembering things right now...

alexp999 · Jan 9, 2009, 06:28 PM

The files are already on torrent sites

We all just need the beta keys.

A Cheese Danish · Jan 9, 2009, 06:30 PM

And how are these keys acquired?

Jan 9, 2009, 06:30 PM

I have a key, just not from Microsoft but it works

Once you sign upto the beta you will be given a key which licences the beta until August 2009.

But they are only giving out 2.5mil keys.
