Aye, but my net is capped too.

Agreed, and I always purchase my software legally also :wavey:, might have a dig around this. Just I don't know if I would use it all the time. But then again 3-4 downloads and I have my money back .

Server 2008 Enterprise with 25 CALS retails at £2,944.91 alone, so one download could save you a hell of alot of money!!

I wouldn't worry too much about capping, The downloads that I've still got running on one of the OC3D servers hooked up to IDNet's backbone are only coming down at 40kb/s now Normal downloads form MS are at around 30mb/s

Niceeee!!!!

I guess Microsoft servers are sharing the bandwidth quite erm, fairly?:bs:

Then you'll prolly get knackered for Windows Updates. But providing you never update and you never intend on reinstalling you have technically got the product for 'free'.

Or microsoft releases an update which makes it revert to the evaluation key, causing lockups after 30 to 90 days

Not going to lie about my location, will have to do without

EDIT: love the topic title btw

 

[themcman1]

I would do and probably am

Imagining the call:

"Hello Microsoft...

.....

.....

"never mind how I got the subscription, your dl servers are a POS! Give me more bandwidth or I may just not renew my subscription!!"

 

[Kylevdm]

I am very tempted to call them up asking why the product key servers are messed up

 

[Bungral]

Hands up if you put your real email address on the forms btw? I'm just wondering how long it will be before MS gets their lawyers to send out intimidating emails to all that signed up.

*raises hand*

 

[JN]

"If you dont let me download EVERYTHING on your site at 30mb/s I'll never ever use your software again! hmph!"

 

[Bungral]

Ok so now I'm home it's time to get downloading

 

[mrapoc]
