Does anybody know if we need to request a new key for the RC or can we use the same key we had for build 7000?Wilson

I've read somewhere here in this forums we can use the beta one.Let me taste W7 RC now!

Could someone post the MD5 hash for the x86 and x64 RCs from Technet, please?

the key says for Beta and RC however I could not download the files and now having a log in problem does any one else have the cannot retrive your profile error ?? I contacted MS support and they are going to investigate..

Yeah..the whole subscriber/downloads section is down on MSDN and Technet... Man this stinks, cause I got a new laptop coming in today for work. I'm gonna be the guinnee pig and test all our "standard" software. It looks like I won't be able to download it in time before it comes in :( .

same problem here, cannot retrieve profile....Obviously, technet is being flooded with requests and is drowning right now....

where is it on Technet? I am signed in but somehow I am overlooking it?

I can't believe we can still bring MSDN to its knees!? Surely they should be able to deal with this? Not a good advert for MS.

Yea I cant get a peep out of technet or msdn subscription areas :(

Same here... No go...

Yep.. stampede to get the RC crushed MS again *sigh* glad I paid for the privilege to wait as the torrent users install away...

This is what I just got after mailing Technet Support Service: Thank you for your e-mail with regards to the your downloads product page.

Can someone post a link to where the download is located. I can not find it anywhere...

Currently there are problems with MSDN/Technet. The current problem is being looked at and to quote TV stations of old 'Normal service will resume as soon as possible.'John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Associate Expert: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org;

Same error : Technet subscription does not work: when attempting a download from there, we just get an alert box saying "database error". Most probably a broken link... But this affects in fact all downloads listed n Technet Subscription. Really Technet Subscription server is down for me and needs fixing !
