Win8: Windows Media Center Pack

[Other Pineapple Smurf]

Just got my first key, applied for it on Saturday evening. Lets see how long it takes them to send me the next one.

Would be nice to see how long it takes for other guys.


EDIT: I'm such a tit, just read the T&Cs

Thanx for the link.

Must say I find it odd that its not even in my MSDN library. I can install 10 x Windows 2012 Servers, 5 x Windows 8 PC's with Office 13's and what not for free with Product keys but nooooo I have to bloody pay to watch movies(Well that is if this offer wasn't on the table)

I applied for my Key on Sunday afternoon and as of end of the 29th still waiting. I reapplied today using another email address, so now it's wait and see.

Does it have Bluray support yet? Also, is Netflix there?

 

[Zyzzyva]

It took a full day to get mine.

Do you have to apply while running windows 8 or does it make no difference?

I'm not sure.

Nope.

I applied on Sunday morning for my key, still waiting. Just entered my e-mail now again.

 

[Park@82]

been more than 24 hours, still nothing

 

[daveza]

Took less than 12 hours a few days ago - now I'm waiting for a new key since this time yesterday.

Demand has probably rocketed - not often you get something free from MS.

Maybe these guys are working from the US East Coast and verify requests manually. Perhaps that storm has something to do with the delays the past two days.

Well, well, well....

Just received my e-mail and my key for media center.

I added the feature and it started upgrading the OS. I got one error, but it tried upgrading again and it worked the second time around.

I just hated windows 8 before, but now think it is amazing!
