Just noticed that you multiposted this same post to 4 different newsgroups and none
of them has anything to do with Windows 7

Peter,

Thanks. You've been there for many years.

P.S. Don't be offended, but your name is funny - reminds of Peter Files,
Peter Drives.

WHO ARE YOU??
I DO NEED 32 BIT, NOT 64 BIT, BUT I'LL TAKE 64 BIT ALSO AS YOU CAUGHT ME IN
THE MIDST OF DECIDING WHETHER I NEED TO BUY A NEW LAPTOP (AND SURELY NEW
MEANS 64 BIT).
Right no wi need 32 bit.

But who are you, mysterious person?
I am scared. The link entered my email automatically and now I suspect
you're a hacker. What if I enter my password and get hacked? This is
absolutely unsafe.
Anyway you can provide a link without my personal info exposed?

How did you get this?? You work for Microsoft?

Yes.
Fact is, however, I got useful info on all 4. This group happens to have
provided most useful response - from someone labeled "ANONYMOUS", despite it
being Office-related... officially, but I know people here can add
tremendously to anything asked on Group explicitly Windows-related.
If I haven't posted here, I'd be in a much less knowledgeable position
today.

ANONYMOUS is a strange person, I followed his link and it know smy email and
just waiting for a password.
I am now scared.
I can get this download if I complete login though.... except I need 32 bit,
not 64 bit.

I am begging you for 32 bit.
BUT first can you tell is this that same RC that runs until 1June2010 (or
stops working on 1March2010)?
Os is it a 90-day trial along the same lines as Enterprise edition I can get
from Microsoft officially, but 90 days is no comparison to June1, 2010.
And I don't know what 'Enterprise" edition means anyway, maybe bloated &
overkill fo rmy needs...

MY FRIEND,

It gives you product key, but then says DOWNLOADS ARE DISCONTINUED, JUST
LIKE I SAID!
So no, it didin't help.

I have product key OK, but where's actual RC or betst yet - RTM, download?
I entered personal info (obviously fake for security), verified email, aand
then I got bummed - says downloads are no more.

So?
Can you please tell where I can download RC, not mere product key and error
message?
 
A

Andy Huang

I made up 32-bit link by replacing 64 with 32 in HTTP address.
But the problem is there's NO download, all it gives you is a Product Key
and says "downloads no longer available", product key is given only for
those who ALREADY downloaded RC.
I missed the date.

Why are you asking this question in a newsgroup? We are not Microsoft
employees, we are volunteers. I would suggest that you contact Microsoft
directly and request a copy. Those of us who may have a copy are not going
to turn it over to you.

I wouldn't think they'd send out any more RCs, since the software has been
RTM.
