I think I will wait to get it officially, I am not into torrents. Thanks
all the same.

Bad suggestion.
There is no legitimate source outside Microsoft for RC-1.

Apparently not the OPs best friend and certainly not mine.
It seems you over estimate the value of sources for stolen software.

You haven't missed the boat... CPP users won't get RC1 til next week
earliest though I'm betting it'll be around the 12th since next week it goes
out to technet and msdn subscribers and us lowly CPP are last to get it.

I am a techbeta subscriber, I just missed out I think. Either that or I
cannot find the right link. I didn't get an email from MS so I guess I am
not one of the trialists.

If you are a member of the techbeta, login to Connect then head to the
Vista/Longhorn program page. Click Downloads and the build is listed second
from the top if you are using the default sorting options.

Thanks but I cannot find it. Maybe its because its late and my eyes are
crossing. lol

I have not gotten the email yet, but I just logged into Connect/My
Participation/etc as usual and lo and behold there it was big as life.
