Windows 7 is now available with keys to Technet Plus subscribers through the download areas. 

The full DVD burnable .ISO images along with keys for most of the editions – Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium & Professional… along with both x86 & x64 versions for each. (Except Home Basic which doesn’t support x64)

This is full RETAIL software for you to learn on.  No time bomb.  All the keys are RETAIL keys. (Except for Home Starter which is and OEM key since there’s not such thing as a “Starter Retail key”.)

I’m downloading it ALL right now. Muhuhuhahaha.  That’s right.  Heck, I don’t even have this kind of access to retail .ISOs like this within Microsoft. 

I feel like a king in front of my computer.  Kneel.  Kneel before Zod.

PSST.  WHAT ABOUT WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE & ENTERPRISE?
Here’s the thing:  Technically, I don’t think Technet Plus provides Ultimate & Enterprise software .ISOs or keys.  I think we draw the line at those two editions. 

So if you go to the standard Technet Plus DOWNLOADS page above you’ll see that the download link and the keys link are greyed out for these editions.

But if you’re a subscriber, check this page out and you will notice something interesting. (Snapshot above)

And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

WAHWAHWAH!  BUT I DON’T HAVE TECHNET PLUS!
Well, sucks to be you then.  Just kidding.  It’s not too late… you can still be one of the first to get your own test copy of Windows 7.  A subscription usually costs $349 for download access only, and $599 for regular DVD shipments. 

But here’s how to get a Technet Plus subscription for 25% off the $349 price (or the $599 price).

1. Visit http://technetplustrywindows7now.com
2. Click the Buy or Renew Now button
3. Use the code:  TNWIN7RTM (Offer expires October 31, 2009)
   Your purchase price should now be $261.75 for the Direct Subscription or $449.25 for the regular DVD shipment price.

So stop whining, and get on it man!  What are you waiting for?  I’m totally teeing you up here.  What part of “WINDOWS 7 IS NOW AVAILABLE TO TECHNET PLUS SUBSCRIBERS” don’t you understand?

Man, this is such an awesome subscription, it’s disgusting…
