And I will just try it, if I can get it as a MSDNAA licence and download for free, but only as a dual boot with Win7 or better a triple boot with Linux... :p
Well, have to take a look at the server if they finally added licence codes to the MSDNAA server I have got access to. ;)

And now M$ shoots itself in the foot again. And in a REALLY big way...!!!!
"Microsoft mistakenly gifts Windows 8 pirates with a free activation key" (Link)
oh crap I have a feeling that means windows media center wont be free anymore now i dont know what to do... im concerned because i use the m-card for my cable tuner from comcast having to use windows 7 media center to watch tv and record and i really dont wanna make the move to windows 8 but concern that eventualy media center won't be update on windows 7 earlier then normal for whatever new encoding they do on the broadcast forcing me to go to windows 8. Should i bite the bullet and pre purchase some copies while i can get em at 40$ with the free media center or not... ugh just more stuff to buy.
ATM windows 8 will not work corectly with my tuner but they are working on it.
Hmmm, go with what I posted then at least you will have it. If you decide to keep it, just get a legitimate key. IIRC you can buy keys directly from M$. I also seem to recall some etailors selling Win7 keys at one point but that might be a glitch in my gray matter.Quote:

I still have one box running Win 8 RC but I am having bad thoughts about putting it on my other 2 boxes. I just don't know if I like it enough to spend the $40 on it. I hate the touch screen method if you don't have one and I hate having to log in everytime you shut down. Oh well, I have until January to decide.
