People, who were successful to get Windows 7 public beta product key, seem to get same product keys. It seems Microsoft is only providing 10 different keys to all 2.5 million downloaders of Windows 7 public beta. Following are the keys:
7XRCQ-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
RFFTV-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
D9RHV-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
482XP-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
6JKV2-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
TQ32R-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
GG4MQ-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
MXMDP-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
4HJRK-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
QXV7B-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
I think all these 10 keys are capped to 2.5 million users and only first 2.5 million users who activate Windows using these keys will be able to successfully activate.
If you also got any of the above mentioned keys but not able to activate Windows, try to activate using phone option.

I got the TQ32R-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx key and it says it's invalid when I enter it on W7 X86. I also got an x64 key (posts said it works on x86) and that was invalid also.

You missed out the word 'million'
I was getting worried there :D

Yeah, I've gotten 4 different x86 keys and they match the ones above, although I had only grabbed the one x64 key. The several x86 was by accidental browser refreshes. The x64 key I couldn't activate online so I had to do it by phone.

My x64 key is not listed here, and Googling the first 10 digits results in zero hits.

I have 2 keys. One is in the list and one is not.

Rest asured Vishal, these are not the only 10. I managed to grab hold of two keys yesterday between the server troubles, and both are not on your list ;)

i got mine starting from QXV7B-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx and it got activated easily.

I think they were going to give out 2.5 million different keys, but it was too much for the servers to handle, so they just game out 10
