    I would say you are quite unlucky, because many PCBeta guy said they provided the infos of a machine bought before June, and entered the purchase day after June2, and got the approval note.

    However, it is not known if MS would ask for further supports when it came to the real deal. :p

    It's not very imaginative is it? Not even the swept colours like in the Windows boot logo etc. Wonder how much they paid for consultancy on it?

    Must be the same guys that think 'Modern' is actually more 'modern looking' than Aero :trek:

    I got a copy of Win8 (RTM I guess) from Dreamspark and want to run it on a VM to try it out first.
    But that would mean I'll need to activate it using my original given key right?

    On October 26 when Win8 goes live, will I receive a new serial/activation key for a retail copy of Win 8?

    Because I may one day decide to install Win8 on my laptop (not using VM), but then I already have used my key for the VM activation.
    I read this link (link below) but that looks more like a "hack" to me and I fear that MS would patch that method, rendering that method un-usable in the future

    Dreamspark premium gives you two keys for x86 and x64
    If you only test it, don't need to active it on VM and if it's too late then you can make call to MS to
    confirm your hardware changes so you can reactive it again

    You'll only gain new keys after Service Pack released :biggrin:

    Darn, when opening Travel and viewing a few panoramas, pc started to feel really laggy, Travel alone ate up all my 4GB of ram
    (no other apps/programs open)
