You are not alone. I haven't received an email either. I later ordered the
DVD and haven't heard anything there either.

John you don't need the email.

Just go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...y/preview.mspx

Scroll down to Download Windows Vista RC1,
enter your location and that's it. I don't remember
the direct download page or I would leave it.

Anyway, even if you have a key already- this
process will give you one more. Some may not
know, but Microsoft is giving you two keys per
Passport ID.

If you try to get more than two keys, you get
this message:

Here's a little tidbit for those who originally applied for two keys with
the Beta 2 CPP: you only get one email this time around, and consequently,
only one Product Key. Hope you saved them from the CPP!

With the restrictions on the satellite service it is not practical to
download. I just have to wait for the DVD :-(

I was an original CPP participant and have had no email regarding
distribution of RC1 DVD. I emailed MS 2 days ago and have had no reply. I
have downloaded RC1 and installed OK and am very impressed and pleased with
the performance. But it would be nice to receive the email and know I am
going to receive the DVD. As an aside I notice the Download size for new CPP
memebers is 3GB when I downloaded it was 2.52GB any ideas why?

Yes Mike I have received an e-mail saying that Vista RC 1 will be at my door
in two weeks.So hang in there
