Damn, should have registered to be able to get a serial number back when they were testing rather than being a synic.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx

scroll down to Dowload Windows Vista RC1, select location, then it will ask you to login using your .net passport live thing, then it will issue a serial key that can be used for both RC1 and 2. hurry though, i dont think its going to stay up for much longer.

use Abdus' first link to get RC2 download.

Note: i had speed of 5-10mb/sec. downloaded in 15mins, its 2.5GB

Wish I was still at home. I think I only get something boring like 512 or 1 meg connection here at uni. Though I could go to a computer lab and do it and abuse thier motorway style internet connection.

Do these RC2 and RC1 serials expire at all?

cool well i just use a key i got off irc but if that dont work ill try this one i guess. i have no graphics card... its a 64Mb intergrated deal, works lovely in XP but in vista it says "standard vga card" guess its just a case of no vista drivers. cant play the new games or even run windows media player in full screen which is a pain in the arse.

ed: do you mean to burn to? you dont need a dvd you can run the image through daemon tools
