I just noticed that EVERYTHING is greyed out, does that mean mine is canceled? Well it's STILL downloading, and I added EVERYTHING to my queue. Cross fingers, knock on laminate. So far I have downloaded 80GB. I need to get my new 1TB drive going soon, only 60GB left on this one.

the word is that ms is manually going through the accounts registerd. and some will be reinstated others wont. im wondering whats going to happen to the keys generated by the deleted technet accounts (aka mine). my microsoft trusting self backed up all the keys i generated and they still activate im just wondering how long if/till they will be blacklisted


well heres some good info posted by rusty in another thread

This may explain it

I wonder if the ISOs are still usable for legitimate repair reinstalls, incase customer lost the original cd?

Almost certainly yes. MS doesn't have any way to prevent certain CD types from working. If they did, and used it, every major OEM's CDs would stop working simultaneously.

yea the isos are still good theres no way for them to be blacklisted lol.

im happy i just got my vista sp2 x86 install disk just in time lol

and on a random note.. just trying to activate and xp install atm (a legit coa not one from technet) and get an activation error. so wring the tel number and the customer service guy told me hes unable to login the activation servers are down. and to try again in 13 mins (this was over 4 hours ago and it still wont activate)

so im thinking maybe they are nuking the technet keys as we speak... im totally speculating but its food for thought lol

hmm ive just gone into technet and it has acepted my reg details again but there aparently doing maintnece so i cant access my serials i wonder what this has got to do with recent events i bet there tightining security or rescticting what the false members can do

You should have clicked like crazy, I got every iso in my queue and keys for I think everything, though there is still no official word on blacklisting them. Always a crack I guess. Hopefully the downloads continue. Whenever you get an opportunity you run with it!
