| | RC1 - How Do I Get It? I signed up for the the last beta and was able to download it. I have a serial number that was given to me. MS was supposed to send me a CD of the last beta but I never received it. They are supposed to send me RC1 but I am now wondering. Also, I would like to download it and not have to wait for the CD (if it is sent). How do I go about getting it? Thanks. |

| | Re: RC1 - How Do I Get It? Wait for the email. It will have instructions and the download link. It is likely you can use the same product key.

| | Re: RC1 - How Do I Get It? The preliminary rumor is that the public release is slated for the 7th. So either sometime Wednesday or Thursday. My instinct is that it will be out next week for sure, unless I read to much into Jim Allchin's post to us BT's, about MSDN and TechNet users getting it next week.

| | Re: RC1 - How Do I Get It? For CPP I'm thinking probably the 11/12th... be nice if earlier but all things considered from what I've been reading those of us with pre-rc1 pretty much have it already.

Microsoft said in a message to tech beta testers that RC1 will be made more broadly available next week to MSDN subscribers and others. -- Robert Firth http://www.winvistainfo.org "Intel Inside" wrote: > When do you expect that email to be sent out Colin?. > > > "Colin Barnhorst" <colinbarharst(remove)@msn.com> wrote in message > news:e08nmztzGHA.4972@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > > Wait for the email.

| | Re: RC1 - How Do I Get It? I concur with Tom that emails will start going out about the 7th. Keep in mind that MS is coordinating with a fulfillment service at least as far as the dvd's go. Since there are upwards of a couple of million emails to send it may be staged.
