You all realize that this won't be on the Vista site? It's for MSDN, TechNet, BETA Testers [the one you received if you were picked to be a tester], and some CPP members. This was on an MS Site:

The RC2 build is 5743, and Microsoft is currently testing it internally. As with the previous interim build, 5728, RC2 will go to beta testers, Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet subscribers, and a random, limited number of Consumer Preview Program (CPP) members.

FYI...

microsoft also said that rc1 and build 5728 would only be available to a limited number of cpp participants. but everyone with a broadband connection got copies. it's a marketing strategy. they're telling us it's a "limited" release so that we'll all want it, get it, and install and test it for them. when people hear there's a limited supply they all flock to grab a peice(remember tickle me elmo a few years ago or the xbox 360 last christmas?)we'll all get copies of rc2.

edit: oops....guess they released it while i was typing this post...

Hi, look up and read.

I dunno, reading is a lot to ask of people these days.

[mouarf]

it's not on msdn for me :pinch:

[IceBreakerG]

Some of you might not care about this, but i'd like to see some better drivers for the xbox 360 controller. It works, but i "really" want the xbox logo button to work on the pc as well, that extra button would be really useful in a lot of games.

Yep, its on connect right now. I cant download this right now, Since I am downloading two demos now haha.

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up. :D

[jporter]

[wixifer]
