    I'm assuming once they took the front page down, most people stopped registering. Except those of us smart enough to use the history.

    You're apparently not missing anything. Looks like they've killed access to downloads and to keys.

    I was going to give you my history. Guess at that point I was logged in with my LIVE ID :^/.

    -I just logged in and all that stuff. Yep, I think they killed everything :^D.

    I figured they would do something like this so I grabbed a bunch of keys.
    I got windows xp 32 and 64, media center, vista ultimate, server 03 enterprise and standard, server08, exchange 07, windows home server, sharepoint server 07, and office 03 pro. Do they work. That is yet to be determined but I tried grabbing as many as I could while i could.

    They amend the expiration date

    That'll be European date though, February 6th 2010 .. not bad for something free ...

    Don't get too comfortable (or maybe don't wait too long to download everything ;)) they're working their way through all the ones that were created through those 3 links and deactivating them all. This was a private beta for IT pros that support small business and individual users and had a feedback/research component, etc, it was never supposed to be open to the general public. icon_cry.gif

    Hehe. I was going to say that I simply bought a real sub, so I didn't have to deal with all this drama icon_lol.gif

    This was definitely an entertaining read though! All the twists made it quite suspenseful!

    Awwwwwwwwwwww..............







    Microsoft contracted with us, Intrepid Consultants, Inc, to conduct the TechNet Plus Pilot Study program research and manage the activities of the pilot study. Our records show that you have recently signed up for a free TechNet Plus subscription through a registration link that was made available without authorization on a public blog.





    The registration link is part of a proprietary study and the party that shared the information was in violation of the terms and conditions to which they agreed to participate in the study. Membership to the Pilot study is limited and all members of the program are required to first meet survey requirements and then complete tasks and assignments over a two month period in order to qualify for and have access to the free TechNet Plus subscription. Since this was a privately conducted pilot study, at no time was it ever intended that a free TechNet Plus registration link would appear on a public internet site, which was done in violation of the terms to which participants agreed upon registering to participate in the pilot study.





    We are very sorry for the inconvenience, but for this reason, we have deactivated your subscription, as well as all other subscriptions resulting from the unauthorized publication of the TechNet Plus Pilot Study program registration link on a public blog. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience.





    Kind regards,




    The Intrepid Consultants Team

    Why did you edit out the part of the email where they mention putting a hit out on Gomjaba? ;)

    I emailed that guy over a week ago and haven't heard anything back from him. I also emailed the address on this page sometime last week, maybe I'll hear something back?
