Vista - Where's Vista RC xx Build 5744

WinPlanet announced Vista RC build 5744 is available. Where/how do I find it
on the cluttered and obscure VISTA site?? At download directory, I keep
getting original Build 5600. Od do I wait for MSFT to mail me another DVD??
Am Customer Supported tester.

From what I can tell, you are SOL like me. I made the mistake of going out
of town on business, I get home see the email from MS and yet I can't
download it now!!

THANKS.

There will be no DVD for 5744. It has been closed for the CPP Program.

while and also it said certain cpp will get it a small group not half of the
cpp people.

Build 5744 was available for a limited time only, via download. It has not
and will not be released on DVD.
Those who signed up for the DVDs to be sent, will get RC1, build 5600.

Downloads have now closed for build 5744.

I don't think so. MS polled the TechBeta folks about who wanted a dvd
mailed just before 5600 but did not do so before 5728 or 5744 and did not
announce any dvd mailings for those builds.

In fact, on the public download page I believe it very specifically stated
that there would be no dvd's mailed.
