    you can get one from the MS site as long as you have a passport log in.

    You cannot use someone elses key because you will have to activate it, and like the norm, one activation per key

    here is a link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx

    go thru the DL process, then provide your passport log in and a key will be given to you

    You should have received an email telling you where to download Beta 2. At the very bottom of the email, you will find your product key. I have downloaded the Beta and burned it to DVD, however I can't install it at this time cause my current HDD is too small (only 30 GB). I'm thinking of getting a 60 GB HDD so I can install it. I need to anyway since I won't be getting my new notebook until Christmas.

    Doesn't matter, and anyway those links are to MS's servers.

    Hope you enjoy Vista ;)
