As mentioned earlier, we're in the middle of shifting offices, even our PCs are packed up, so I don't really have access to the servers and we're all working from home.

For now, all I could get was the DVD manifest, so...

DVD1
*dgit.in/KcK7Nm

DVD2
*dgit.in/L7OE3c

DVD3
*dgit.in/McDNYJ

DVD 4
*dgit.in/LkxzBU

Hmm...

Well, Microsoft has the keys on their site.

Here is the key for the release preview

TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF

Don't know if it will work though. Maybe you can try it and tell everyone here. :D

This is the worst anniversary issue ever.

Where's the goddamn content? Only 138 pages? Out of which almost 45 pages are advertisements. A normal issue has more content than this one. And you're charging Rs. 250 for this? What kind of scam is this? What have you charged the extra 100 bucks for?


Last year's anniversary issue had so rich content. It was worth every penny. I don't care what you've put in those DVDs. Doesn't matter. I've never bought Digit for the DVDs. There is nothing extraordinary about this edition. Fast Track to Tablets? Man! WTF! Only one Fast Track! Where's CTC-IV?


You've lost my trust.

Try T3, CHIP, Computer Active or any other magazines (except PC Mag or similar big international mags). And then compare their quality and content with Digit. :lol: You'll then regret and probably come back.. :-D

Got it yesterday. I am a subscriber but i got a normal copy of digit, why is that? and there was tape on the front cover, though they removed easily unlike they used to, One year back.
Have not checked the DVDs yet.

Step 1: First download and install 7-Zip from the internet.

Step 2: Then extract the Adobe Master Collection CS6 to a folder on your harddisk.

Step 3: You will get the Setup.exe in the new folder, run it and install cs6.

Digit must provide better games and movies at least...
All the Games you provide Suck so bad ! Even my 9 yrs old cousin hates 'em :p

Will you explain what went wrong this time ?
and please for Gods sake Reduce ad's ...Focus on content rather than generating Revenue!
thetechfreak

Seems both the videos have problems. No audio video sync. Editing too, in the DSK video the student asked for another take but that part wasn't edited out. So there was no meaning of second take?
All the content was general.

There are some glaring errors too which previously it wasnt so
1) Page 80. A guy asks for PC upgrade (in question-"Laptop or PC upgrade"
The price of Corsair Cx430 was posted Rs.4300. It isn't that high. But in next page itself(Killer rigs, Entry level gaming) you guys quoted price as Rs.2400, which is the right price. Why so many disparities in 1 page?


2. Way way way too many Trailers in the DVDs. Game trailers well they are fine but why multiple HD movie trailers in EACH disc? Looks like they have been forced just to fill space
The games? Arghh! usually I try a game or two but this time I couldn't bother installing even one. I know AAA games can't be given but atleast a few decent games are better than many bad ones.


3. I think you guys had written a review on cloud storage. Couldn't find logic behind this months comparison :(


4. News and tips should not be mingled. What on Earth is a Email privacy article doing in the news section(page- 28)
Liked the article on Agni missiles though and the cover story was only thing that made me feel it was a special issue

Forget it dude !!

It will not work !

Tip : Don't copy the 7zip files to your harddisk. Use 7-zip to unrar them directly to a folder on your harddisk. [ it will take few minutes, but it works, i did it this way only on my lappy ]

@thetechfreak , at last I see that your above post is nice !! :grin: My money gone to hell !!

I would say that april security suite fiasco really left me disappointed. The only reason why i bought that edition was because of the suites.

And 90% suites had starter edition which anyone can download in minutes...

As a customer you feel cheated and you wonder whether future editions will have what it is there on the cover...
