Connect is a paid service. There's no link.

[xUnix]

well, for those without MSDN or Technet. This version will be out soon in the wild.... :)

[tmanops05]

Connect/Beta Participants get first digs. Then it goes to others after that...

Of course, it's not there yet and may never be.

[grdh20]

When is MSDN gonna get there hands on this bad boy????

yeah, and we actually pay for the service. :rolleyes:

[willdev]

Nothing for CPP though, im guessing that will come in the weekend :(

[Sheppard]

You pay for MSDN you dont pay for vista so dont use that excuse.

[gertin]

Is this build RC2?

[johnl404]

You pay for MSDN you dont pay for vista so dont use that excuse.

Several past Vista beta releases have been included in the MSDN subscriptions. By your logic, MSDN subscribers are not paying for anything since all products are included and represented in the subscriptions equally. Therefore, MSDN users are paying for access to this Vista release (although indirectly, I suppose) and the original poster's comment is valid.

[User6060]

SWEET, thanks for the info (Y)

[Kemistry]

Yep! Downloading now at 800k a second... time for a new key me thinks

[Sheppard]

Yes but its tiring to see people complain that they pay for MSDN so they then should be entitled to it before anyone. They are paying for access to MSDN not for Vista itself.

[Boeing 787]

I hate when people say x86 and x64 instead of x32 and x64.

Sorry, just a weak rant I'm going to download 5744 now.

People asked for it, and here it is, Windows Vista RC2! We wanted you to be

the first to get these bits; next week they'll be available to a broader set

of customers via MSDN and TechNet.

All your great feedback has helped us focus on nothing but bug fixes over

the past month since RC 1 - each and every day. There are thousands of

quality improvements since Windows Vista RC1. You'll probably notice

improvements in performance, application compatibility, as well as fit and

finish work. We will continue improving quality until RTM. If you are an

ISV, please use this build (certainly at least RC1 or later) to get

certified. Visit www.innovateonvista.com for more information on logo

certification.

You are integral to this creation and refinement process. We are just

around the corner from RTM and shipping this great product to the world.

This will be the last build made available prior to RTM, so please keep the

feedback coming so we can hit the finish line.

Thanks for your help in finishing the job!

I am at about 50% of the upgrade from an earlier build... too bad in place upgrades last so long...

[johnl404]

Yes but its tiring to see people complain that they pay for MSDN so they then should be entitled to it before anyone. They are paying for access to MSDN not for Vista itself.

On that point, I definitely agree. However, I'd like to take it a step further and say that MSDN subscribers are at least entitled to receive it at the same time that Connect users do (if it's a build slated for release to both groups).
