vista_6000.16386.061101-2205_x86fre_client-LRMCFRE_EN_DVD.iso

vista_6000.16386.061101-2205_x64fre_client-LRMCxFRE_EN_DVD.iso

Downloading those, are they the RTM? The words media images threw me off.

That is correct. Those are the RTM disc images.

Wait, so if you joined as a CPP, you don't get it?

CPP Members don't receive a copy of the final version of Vista.

Only currently active, invited members of the Windows Vista technical beta program who filed at least one bug are receiving this offer.

This means ONLY if MS invited you to test Vista.

INVITED

please don't get people's hope's up.

yo i got an email like in september which had some dude and a crash test dummy with some glasses taking an eye test and it said

The Vista RC1 is available now along with Microsoft 2007.

Then it explained everything and had several links. Is this the invite?? Plus i didnt file any bugs till about two weeks ago, is that alright??

thanks medking

Have to be apart of the technical beta

Starting from the first beta's.

For those who have received the email, were you directly in just a "Windows Vista" beta, or one that had other things in it? The one I was in was Vista, IE7 and Longhorn Server. I still haven't received my email?

Thanks,

Ok so lets get this straight, if you havent been testing since Beta 1 in July 2005 then theres no way to accquire it...

?

If you were not invited to join the Tech Beta program starting with the early vista builds, there still is a way to get it.... on january 31.

I was on Vista, IE7 and Longhorn Server also. I've got my invitation and i'm downloading. They can't send 20,000 emails instantly. Be patient.

i was in one that had windows vista, microsoft office 2007, and windows longhorn server...

dont know if i can get it then...ive voted on the scenario site and filled out 4 or 5 reports with recordings so i hope for the best...

i even did a dear microsoft lol (camera video)

I was in this program as well and I am currently downloading both isos. Good luck to you guys!

Have you checked http://connect.microsoft.com ? The survey might already be there ;)

Dont want to sound greedy but any news on office 2007

No news at all. They made it quite clear that there was no free version for Beta Testers.

I think the amount of goodwill and advertising generated by giving away a link (to active, invited Beta Testers) to a download of RTM of a product gives, it's probably worth it for Microsoft.

What a surprise this was. I got home this evening, and there the invite was in my inbox.

They say product keys MAY be physically mailed to us, so that may include a certificate of authenticity or something like that. (For when a handwritten key just isn't enough...)
