Are There Only 10 Product Keys for All Windows 7 Beta Users?

Recently Microsoft released public Beta version of Windows 7 operating system to public for testing purposes. Now more people will be able to test the new operating system and Microsoft will get large amount of feedback to make improvements to the OS.

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 set of keys to all 2.5 million downloaders of Windows 7 public beta.

Following are the pattern of these 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.
