I just followed your link and selected "disagree", that was correct right?

Why do you think MS is under any obligation to make this available to you
because you are doing volunteer beta testing for someone else's product. If
the vendor is a large one, they likely already have access to RTM. MSDN
subscriptions has stated clearly that Vista will be available this Friday.
Learn patience, it would benefit you immensely.

READ MY LIPS: COMPLETELY UNPAID BASIS, THAT MEANS: NO FREE SOFTWARE, JUST

I agree that it was correct to disagree.

Mr. Panzke,

Thank you for your post regarding your need to beta test anti-virus software
on Windows Vista RTM. Security is important to Microsoft and we agree that
testing of anti-virus software must trump all other concerns. As such, we
will be immediately posting Windows Vista RTM to your MSDN subscriber
account.

Because of a glitch in the server software, when we make a download such as
this available to one account only, the download sometimes does not show as
available on the subscriber's webpage. In order to get access to the Windows
Vista RTM download, please navigate to the page that shows your available
downloads and begin clicking the "refresh" button every 5 seconds until the
download appears. There is no way for us to know for sure how long you will
need to click the refresh button for, but we assure you that if you continue
clicking the refresh button, you will eventually gain access to the download
of Windows Vista RTM.

Thank you again for working diligently to help improve security in Windows
Vista. It is MSDN subscribers like you that help make Microsoft great.

Sincerely,
The MSDN Download Team

That doesn't answer my question. Why do you think MS is under any
obligation to make this available to you because you are doing volunteer
beta testing for someone else's product?

Vista will be available on MSDN on Friday. They are not going to change
that timeline because you feel you should have it before then.
