Since I have not seen anyone else post the download link, I thought some might be interested.

The link below will take you to the download page for Vista RC2, which is currently available.

I recommend using the Akamai download manager link.

Note - this is for 32-bit version. [Edit - they have added the 64-bit as well]

Thanks for the link, Corky...was looking for the RC2 d/l on the MS site earlier today and it wasn't up, still only RC1.

Downloading at 129kbs and rising, so it'll be a couple of hours yet...time for a quick snooze before its ready to burn.

I got no transfer whatsoever from microsoft for like 10 minutes

. My internet connection sucks anyway. So I have to revert to a torrent (still only about 60kbs lol). I wish I had high speed

.

Thanks for letting us know that its released

. *hopes this RC works for me*

They've been chucking out new builds quite quickly lately. I haven't even got around to install 5728 yet. (Though I tried to install it from a Virtual CD where the install would just fail. Was going to try it from a DVD. Lets see if this one is any different.)

Well done Corky!

In it right now. It has a few new icons in it, and the maximised borders are much better now.

I don't see the 64-bit version anywhere. Anyone know where this can be found?

Thanks.

I have worked out a way to install it without the use of a DVD buner.
I will outline the instructions-
1.Partition your hard drive-you could try doing a clean install of windows for this.
2.Install XP on one partition.
3.Download the .iso
4.download the Free virtual CD ROM for Windows XP 2.1 (http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpvirtualcd.html)
5.'Mount' the .iso
6.Install on the other partition
7.You're done!(and you still have XP of course)
Thanks to thomassen for the insparation

The 64-bit download link is right below the 32-bit link.

If for some reason you can't see it by clicking on the "Click here to view link" above, try cleaning your cookies out and retry the link.
