relax, the vast majority of others (such as I) are in the same situation as
you. we haven't gotten the E-Mail yet, not have we gotten the already-paid-for RC1 DVD. They will both come in time. In the meantime, as long as you stil have the legitimate key Microsoft provided to you for Beta2, you can go here and download RC1 and use your Beta 2 key to install it and activate it. http://download.windowsvista.com/pre...n/download.htm "darrylpan" wrote in message ...

That would be great if one has a broadband connection. Those who only have dial-up accounts are (hopefully) being dissuaded from trying to download 2.6GB (especially when most dial-up providers reset their users' IP addresses every 24 hrs.) Even some Broadband providers do this. Which makes it very hard to download a clean ISO. If you can, don't forget to download the RC1 build 5728. It is CLEAN and PURE. Much better than RC1 was. In fact, it is very close to RTM, in my opinion. I have it installed as the only OS on my Apple Intel iMac (Yes, you CAN take that P.O.S OS called "OSX" off your HD, and install Vista exclusively on your Intel Macs (in fact, it installs on an Intel Mac EXACTLY as it would on a "normal" Wintel PC. NOTE: The latest Apple firmware update MUST be installed first), and it runs even better than Windows XP ever did. In fact, it runs better than Tiger. And looks much better, also.
