No RC2 for me?

A number of months back there was a post here about signing up for Vista Beta. I did, and I've downloaded and installed two builds and am at RC1 now. Got my key and the whole nine yards.

No invite for RC2 though.

Have I been bad?

Have I gone as far as I'm going to with the level of involvement I have?

 
The last email I received, and every RC2 link I find, directs me to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/ where all I can find are links to RC1.

I have tried this from IE and Firefox.

I have not tried it from Vista.

Am I missing or overlooking something?

Edit: And, I just tried it from Vista. I get redirected to the same site, log in and after winding my way through, I can download RC1, .......... again.

Another Edit: It looks as though the RC2 download was only available for a few days. I knew it was out there, but was waiting for an email with a download link. By the time I started looking on my own it was gone. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
 
RC2 has been pulled. Only way to get it is via something like torrent, which is how I got my copy. Which I know is a bit off limits here but I feel like it's justified. I've been beta testing Vista virtually since it became available and just didn't get to the website in time.
 
Looks lie I am not the only one who missed the download window, been trying to find it somewhere myself or find someone willing to upload it to my ftp server🙂
 
Best thing to do is start haunting these forums when you hear a version will be released to the public. Someone here will post that it's available with a link. It's worked for me every time since the first public beta.

RC2 is the last public release. Next stop, RTM.
 
I'd give Usenet a try as well. But considering it's a 2.5GB download make sure you have a decent provider! 🙂
