    The torrent is good but you need to have a valid registration key and this is why the MS servers are so overwhelmingly bloated at the moment.

    Hamid, that’s a really good point. Without it, you only get 30 days.

    Yes! And I hope I am one of the 2.5 Million who can get a copy before everything runs out!

    You might be able to use this trick to extend the trial period to 120 days without a key.

    I downloaded my copy. It only took 45 minutes! Now I just need a key.
