If we have to get another key, does that mean we can't share them?

Same procedure as the other BETAS.
Sorry, confused me a bit. So the keys we have currently are only good until this June? So the process of procuring another key is what exactly? Thanks.

Didn't MS learn their lesson from the earlier win7 beta (build 7000) launch?

Overall, Windows 7 is much more stable and less hardware intensive than Vista. It has more security and a more user friendly interface than XP. It's much more backwards compatible than Vista. DX11, etc etc. Much better driver support. Better memory handling and such.

Basically, it's the best parts of Vista and XP put together... and a few extra tweaks that make it have that extra little edge.
