[Makaveli]

When is it gonna be available to the public, is what I want to know?

 

[Bozo Galora]

its only gonna be avail to public in "limited amounts"
so if you go here http://download.windowsvista.com/dl/pre...-1945_x86fre_client-LRMCFRE_en_dvd.iso

and get the gal in the grass, the door is not open
if it asks you for login (any MS login), you are one of the chosen few

it is however up now on MS connect

and in 13 days your company can get RTM with 570 less bugs than 5744

 

[Shawn]

Hmm... not available on torrents yet. 🙁

 

[Robor]

I'm guessing it will show up on Usenet very soon as well. 😉

 

[CigarSmokedByClinton]

Well, I clicked on your link, bozo, and apparently I'm one of the chosen few, as it popped up a window, and I'm downloading it as I type. 189kB/s on comcast cable.

I'm downloading it, too. I got in the beta program early enough I guess. Too bad my testing of it is so limited due to my crappy GPU.

[Trader05]

i need the 64bit version lol damn it!

 

[aphex]

is the link above for the 32bit?

Can i use the same key as RC1?

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

Cool - downloaded the entire thing in 15 minutes (at about 3.5MB/s) on my university campus.

 

[nycxandy]

Does the beta key still work for RC2?

 

[aphex]

anybody know about the key?

 

[CigarSmokedByClinton]

from what I heard, the rc1 key will work with the rc2 version. I haven't tried it myself though.

GO TIGERS!

 

[stash]

Keys are the same for RC2. This is essentially the last build they will work with before RTM.

 

[aphex]

the link provided above, is that for 32bit?

edit; this one; http://download.windowsvista.com/dl/pre...-1945_x86fre_client-LRMCFRE_en_dvd.iso

 

[stash]

Yes...x86fre.

Wow, wtf. I'm downloading it on two computers, and on both apparently, I was one of the "chosen few".

32-bit and 64-bit links are both on that page now.

Edit: I'm downloading x64 at about 775K/sec right now.

[DasFox]

POST BACK here how RC2 is looking and running for everyone!

I'd like to hear the reports on how it's doing.


ALOHA

 

[Pabster]

Looking and running pretty good.

It's still a dog compared to XP, but it has improved.
