reactionary007 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I logged on to connect and a message popped up saying they'd like to offer me a version of Vista - either Business or Ultimate RTM and that I could download it immediately and then I would receive a key within 1 week via email! Looks like beta testers get an lisence to RTM for participation. Go out and check it out! downloading it now! Link to post Share on other sites
