And I just paid for it 2 months ago! Get it while you can!!!
I just tried the link and it didn't work for me. It dumps right to a page that says:
"Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us today. Based on your answers, we do not feel this is a good fit for you. We hope that you will consider participating in future studies. "
I didn't even fill anything out so I guess that's they're way of saying it's over. Someone else brought this up a couple weeks ago and I didn't sign up because I thought it was for UK people only. I'm kind of bummed to find out it was working for people in the US.

When I go to the link I get
"Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us today. Based on your answers, we do not feel this is a good fit for you. We hope that you will consider participating in future studies. "
I used http://surveys.rddfs.com/IntWeb.dll/online/WEB4/090668/&urlimport=1&questlist=T;T2;G;&T=1&T2=2&G=1
I didn't do anything but go to the page and that link redirects me to the end of the survey I think (??)
Anybody figure this out?
Thanks

I'm a little confused on how the file downloads and key work. If I can download an XP iso disk and a generated XP key does that key ever expire or is it permanent. I havent installed it yet but wanted to know more before I do.
The second link worked. I'm downloading the 64 bit Vista iso now.
Update: I was curious so I did some searching. This seems to be a bug related to the sign-ups they had for doing the surveys. From what I gathered it just leaked this afternoon, and basically the interwebs are going nuts over this right now. I'm just praying this 64 bit Vista ISO finishes before they cut everyone off. I need it to go with my 32 bit Vista Anytime Upgrade disk. If you're the type of person that cares about being legit on licensing you should avoid generating any keys and/or using them since the origin of this is pretty sketchy. Personally I don't see a problem with getting a couple ISOs I'm missing so I have legit copies to use with customer's licenses.

This is nice I finally have a technet subscription. I just hope that MS doesn't come after us with a room full of lawyers since we got the link through other means
After reading some more stuff I'm starting to think maybe it's semi-legit and I'll be getting emailed with the surveys. Maybe it just bypassed all the early acceptance steps and put you right into the program. I certainly wouldn't mind filling out a few surveys if I get to keep it for a year.
I've found some earlier links to it from a couple days ago so they're probably already know what's going on. At least I hope they do since I think all the software is download from akamai servers. It can't be cheap if that's the case.

It seems to be perfectly legit:

With a normal Technet account you're allowed to keep using software you already have even when the subscription expires. I just generated a ton of product keys and saved them out as XML. You can do the same by clicking on the "Downloads" tab, and then clicking on "Product Keys". Go through the list and generate as many keys as you want for each piece of software. Then look off to the side at the top and bottom of the page there will be "Export Key List to XML" links.

It's a real XP key so it doesn't expire. However, all licenses on TechNet are solely for testing purposes, so don't use it to get some extra licenses for machines you have lying around but plan on using as a normal machine.
