i am downloading the windows vista beta 2 (for public) from microsoft ...site..
my download is almost about to finsih (something 300mb left out of 3.2 gb )
but after installation where do i get the product key from ??on the siter the product key was being distributed free i suppose but now when i go to the microsoft windows vista site ..the status is as follows ...

*www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx

does that mean i can not install vista beta 2 now ??only because i dont have the product key ..is it possible that windows will again start distributing product keys after some time....and what if i use a key already used by some one else ??does it work..please tell me what do i do now ..i dont want the 3.2 gb (5 days odf download )..go waste please please tell me what do i do ??

^^ No.. I dont think that will create a problem, especially at the beta2 stage.. It takes at least around 200-300 simultaneous installations for a key to get black listed. Dont worry about that. If you face any problems, tell me..
