You might find that the web page won't let you have the license keys.
I tried downloading, got the message you describe, tried again and got *another* message "Thanl you for participating in the Preview Program. All of your available product keys have been used".

Two other points: Website says it will email you the dl links and keys. It doesn't. Website says, on the license key page, "Print page for your records". When you do so, you get a nice background *without* a license key! (But the text is selectable. No word on how IT people with visual disablities are supposed to get around this.

After I got past the busy server errors, I was able to register and receive a page with the install key. I did that yesterday and today. On both occasions, I received an email almost instantly from the service at microsoft dot com address.

I looked around on the webpage to see if there was a trouble form or email address but I didn't see one.

You might try it again today. If this totally fails again, send me an email from my blog with your passport id and I'll see if I can get someone to look into it.

Sorry.

So, you want to download Vista?
