From what I've heard I don't believe it's an public beta, so I don't think they'll be giving out any Keys. I think you have to have been registered before in order for it to work, but I'm not too sure.
Edit: I just googled it up and found this link:

It confirms that they won't be giving out any Keys
Argh. Looks like I'll have to find a key somewhere...
well then, that was useless to try and do.
Wait, so how am I supposed to try this out then?
You won't be able to test this pre-Rc1 release unless you find a key, but the Rc1 release will be available to public. So if you want to test it you'll have to wait for the rc1 release
Oh c'mon now Microsoft, that's lame!
Why would they release 100,000 downloads but make them inoperable?
very true, ah well, what can you do?
Do you have any idea how fast that's going to be deleted?
Less than 4 minutes...

Yes, I actually did have an idea. The real question is did I *CARE* about how fast it was going to get deleted. The answer to that, obviously, is NO

Seems RC1 (non pre-) will be available soon - so no reason to pirate pre-RC1 anyway
Indeed, and they say that it will also be available to non-official testers. Can't wait. My only fear is that the RCs may have automatic data transmission built-in to monitor performance and report bugs, which would certainly be a privacy concenr.
Nah, as far as I can tell, Beta 2 only sends things when a program crashes. I assume it's the same for RC1.

OK, that's good. I'd hate for my computer to be covertly transmitting data back to Microsoft.
Oh noes! It sent back the source code for all your
super secret projects!
