Vista - 1 Download many Keys ?

What goes on, there is just one download, the same for everyone is it ?

But many keys, with each key to activate the OS on up to 10 PC's ?

Can everyone just download from here:

http://download.windowsvista.com/pre...6/download.htm

if so why the rego page first:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...y/preview.mspx

Because its just a beta, Why can't you have just one download for everyone
and same key for everyone?

Because they want to test normal behaviour of activations. When the software
RTMs and you buy it in the store its 1 license. If you need additional
license's, sign up with another passport account.

Andre^

It looks like they have a key for each country ?

https://om4.one.microsoft.com/opal/VistaBeta.aspx?
StoreID=da8f2dea-9ba8-42da-9825-
b8b3d7983e35&LocaleCode=en-us&JavaScriptOn=yes

select your country, then it shows vista beta2 cpp key: listed is a key for
each country?
