    Is one of these really RC1?

    http://download.windowsvista.com/pre.../download.html

    http://download.windowsvista.com/pre...6/download.htm



    I downloaded the first one. Is the second one a different build? The second
    url says "prerc1" The page itself says RC1 and has both the 32 bit and 64
    bit downloads.

    Hello Kerry,

    No. The ISO on the RC1 page is really build 5384.

    The second link now redirects to

    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...iew/start.mspx

    I guess it was a test. I should have started the download while I had the
    chance :-)

    The second one is actually a Place Holder for Release Candidate 1, and
    currently contains the Beta 2 .ISO Image.

    Thanks, the page seems to be up and down. I guess they are testing. I'll
    continue with the 5536 install.

    Just FYI

    The first link is the correct one. The correct link only has one download
    (32 bit) available. The incorrect link now forwards you to the Windows Vista
    Get Ready page.

    Terribly bad hair day. Whichever one it is, I downloaded the correct one in
    the end.
