    Is anyone using RC1 already?

    You can download a copy at http://download.windowsvista.com/pre...n/download.htm

    And info on hw reqs & other bits can be found http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...y/preview.mspx

    RC1 will be good until June 1, 2007.

    At 249Kb/sec (and slowly rising), it's slow downloading the dvd iso of the 64-bit version. Estimated wait=2:07 hours. The Linux Mandriva dvd iso took 1.5 hours by comparison.....

    I'm also downloading MechCommander Gold (MC 2 yesterday) using the P3-733.

    Both pc's are busy with downloads today......

    It isn't warez and you download it from Microsoft.com so I dont think anyone would mind. I also heard you just click on "Next" and you it'll activate it without the activation key. I'll know in 15 mins time.

    According to the Download Manager I'm downloading it at 223KB/Sec (about 2 Mbps) and I peaked at 779.3KB/Sec (about 6 Mbps).

    I'm going to install Vista RC1 as a guest OS in Virtual PC 2004. But, I have to use the 32-bit version and not the 64-bit version I have here. I'm downloading the 32-bit Vista RC1 right now. Looks like I have a good connection this time, 779KB/sec. I should have the thing downloaded in less than an hour.

    I'll try installing the 64-bit version to a 2.5" 60gb usb2 external hard drive which I'm formatting right now.
