Well, they do have the public newsgroups - your mileage, though, will vary.

You're also encouraged to file bug reports through the MBC, but if you're not part of the technical beta program (that is, you don't have access to it via MS Connect), then you won't be able to track your bugs (you'll only be able to file them; you won't be able to tell if they resolve the bug, ask for more information, etc).

Lastly, there's the Scenario Voting, which you can catch in my signature. Its public and open to everyone, and while it certainly isn't as detailed as an individual bug report, it does allow you to share your feedback on various parts of the OS.

Here's to happy (or perhaps unhappy :laugh:) installing :yes:

HERE IT IS!

If you use this site and don't have a Beta 2 key you won't get one. You have to register first.

Register at www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx

Also 2007 Beta 2 TR is also out. It says only the Refresh will work with RC1. The link is on the above site.

[SimplyPotatoes]

READ THE PAGES stop looking at pictures

[ana04]

Wow... downloading went from 500KB/s to few KB/s... :|

I guess they are getting hammered.. :pinch:

READ THE PAGES stop looking at pictures

i've read the pages quite a few times... all i see is "If you are not registered but would like to receive Windows Vista RC1, the CPP will open to new participants in the coming weeks.". so i HAVE to ask: WHERE are you guys getting CD-Keys for this (officially... not using other people's CD keys)?
