Default Question about 5536

This link http://download.windowsvista.com/pre.../download.html
has been given, whihc I'm downloading now. But what about the PK? Do I use my
5384 (from CPP) PK? I would go search for it on the net, but that PK would be
'used'.

Yes, use the key you got when you signed up for the Beta 2 CPP.

This seems to be only for the 32 bit version, I wonder if they're
putting the 64 bit on line tonight?

Hello SAM-R,

You should be able to. The key determines what edition gets installed and
I used my Home Premium key to install on a test system and it worked.

Default Question about 5536

I'm not trying to be pedantic Jane, it's just that I relayed to someone (who
heard about the pre-RC1 download) that a key is required & I was looking for
a page that stated this, to convince them that if they did not have a Beta 2
CPP, or MSDN, key they were wasting their time.
Do you agree with this?.
