drat, I was hoping for clarification about Volume Licensing, like if I could install Professional and it would take a Volume License key or not (I know Vista specifically required separate media), but what's on MSDN right now is too vague.

I was furiously  and caught it right at released and was getting over a meg down. Of course I have watched that taper off over the last 45 minutes to about 150k.

I don't want to deal with the unbelievably slow DL speeds of the hammered MS servers, so I'm going to probably get the  version. I do have a TechNet subscription. So can I just put in my license key that I get from TechNet and use it with the RTM from "those" sites?

While you're not distributing anything that's not publicly available, you're still breaking the rules by distributing outside of the channels.

just gonna throw this out there for anybody with Toshiba laptops or just webcams in general with similar trouble, but my built in webcam used to be quite terrible, if the light in the room wasn't blinding, the cam would just show black, except for lights such as a power LED or a tv screen, but since I upgraded to Windows 7, my cam always works, even it areas with low light.

My impatience hosed me up. I don't think I can get my version to boot into setup. I've tried with 2 discs. I'll try a few more times, then I have to download at the slow speed from MS. The hashcodes were correct and I checked all the info against the info in the OP.

I think you're crazy for using a torrent version of this, who knows what people have put into it of viruses or trojans? The most popular filez are going to be the ones with most of this stuff. Getting 1 MB/s from MSDN on my work PC, which is strange, since I only got 90 kB/s from my home PC  .I'm going to throw it on my Lenovo R500 laptop and play with it.

^ ^ ^ Yeah, it'd most likely result in garbage data. Way to waste people's time, you rebels!

Even if you can do one, I can't imagine how long it would take to collide with both at the same time. Hence multiple hashes and you use ExactFile or something.

When I booted the RTM disk, it took a long time for setup to actually load. It was sitting there looking like it was doing nothing for probably 5 minutes or so before the setup screens popped up. I burned at 22X I think.
