Yep, this was already mentioned here: http://forum.osnn.net/showthread.php...963#post763963
Great gesture from Microsoft, if you ask me, especially given the scale of the technical beta program this time.

Re: Submit a Vista bug to Connect? Free Ultimate!
Yeah received mine today, very excited I’m still pinching myself because I still cannot believe they have done this. I am honoured and shocked because I did not think Billy Gates would reward us beta testers with a copy of Vista. One is completely gutted though, because the download link has been down for hours now.
Connect subscribers could you please check your download link for me to see if you are getting the same. The system has encountered an unexpected error. We apologize for the inconvenience. The issue will be addressed as quickly as possible. It does not matter if I choose United States, Europe, Asia when I click on Download I get the same message all the time. Will try again later or maybe tomorrow. I think the server are so busy I might have to wait until either around 02:00 or 05:00 to download because it looks as through all the invited people are downloading Vista and causing the server to only allow a certain amount of people to download. Or maybe I am talking complete and utter "cobs wallop..." Oh fudge.  The title is still a little misleading. It should say "MS complement Beta testers with a free copy of Vista" Here is the reason why... I just found this on their Help and Support page via contact us. A little silly considering they should put this on the main page to warn everybody.  ** Announcements ** File Downloads Currently Unavailable November 17, 2006 (11:00 am Pacific Time):- At this time, file downloads are not working. This issue has been escalated to the operations team. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will post a notice as soon as the service has been restored. It is unnecessary to report download failures at this time as we are aware of the problem and are actively working to resolve the issue. Thank you very much for your patience! |
