    Says page doesn't exist anymore when I was refreshing the link above.

    Edit: It's pretty random actually. It works for a few times and then it doesn't.

    I've got x86 installe don hardware (vanilla) and a cracked x86 in a VMware virtual machine. I'm still sitting here (02.08 UK time - way past beddy byes) trying to get a 32 bit key for my virtual machine.

    So no. I've got to clean install x64 tomorrow on real hardware and I'll use that to test. I'll post if it works tho' - I've not messed about with it.

    The Orbit_30 patch I used to activate the virtual machine has a remove button. Did you try to remove the patch first?

    Since last post I tried the key in a Home Premium install - key only works for Ultimate. SO- I'm going to do a clean install of Ultimate and try the key before I do anything else - AND - I'll try the patch removal too - I don't recall if that option was there.

    Anyway - thanks for that link

    ETA - I have a 64 bit install - had to do some file renaming, pasting, etc. as part of the patch - regular ''uninstall" didn't do anything, as I suspected it wouldn't.

    I kept clicking on This in post 45 of this thread. It went to several places and finally a key showed up. These Windows 7 beta links are the craziest things I ever saw.

    Well i gotta say that this is getting outta hand for just a key any other solution or an easier way?

    BTW did anyone manage to install this official release? My guess is it's the same as the leak version?

    I did a clean install using the key I got from "your" link - it worked, system activated.

    Now I have 1 OS activated by patch and 1 by beta link - I'm good to go:D
