Why are people supporting apple crap? Every generation of their hardware and software is totally incompatible with eachother, forcing their few users to upgrade on a fast schedule, apple doesn't offer backwards support for os x even 2 revisions ago, when ms just stopped supporting windows 98 this year.
Apple fudges their numbers (a g4 was almost 2x as fast as a pc a few months before the intel mac came out, and now with an intel cpu that was marginally better than pentium d came out apple became 4x faster than it was) amazing!
Wost of all apple convinces people that pcs even take a long time to set up (even mac os has a welcome screen, and it takes no longer to get through it on a ms pc) compared to macs, when their tower computer is equivalent to the average pc for number of cables, boxes, etc.
Sure, I may not agree with how microsoft tries to dominate stores, and tries to force them to sell windows on every pc, but one can still get a pc without windows, or build one.
Which company did you say was immature? - Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13@skyshock:
They email you a copy of the key as well, relax... - nwshc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Digg me down *****
- danjal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Why is it three versions of Digg.. and we still don't have a Windows Option in Technology?
- deim0s, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Do not click.

Enjoy ^.^ - butchiebags, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10i was really disappointed in beta 2 because the mouse and the sound glitched very badly, but in RC1 it's running as smooth as it should and I'm kind of liking it. it doesn't really make sense to get it as soon as it comes out though, because i still cant do as much with it as i can on XP.
- ReBeLaCe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Thank god they are givin them back out. I lost my original key and that sucked.
- rjsmith2007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9To clear up possible confusion: The instructions mention Beta 2, but the links lead to RC1.
- davids, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9to get more ppl on it to help find the BUGS :S
- disruptor108, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10That worked for me, thanks!
- Captkidd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"Torrent?"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_client
You're welcome. - Robstah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Press refresh on the CD-KEY page and it will give you an additional one. I can only get 2 CD-KEYs total though.
- borchard76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6almost certainly not. I suspect that, like with Office 2007 betas, the keys are only valid for the testing version, and they will use a different seed for the retail version (and even the different retail versions).
- LRoy12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7why is microsoft distributing vista rc1 so freely?
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5then don't digg
- delalakija, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I got the key! Thanks so much! Will download ASAP
- SuperBTZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5So many people are complaining about Vista right now and how buggy/incomplete it is. Do they realize that this is just beta (preview) release? Start complaining when it hits store shelves.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That worked.

Note: This is just the .iso, not a key, you need a valid key from somwhere else. - CarzorStelatis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Lol someone forgot to install the Digg Defender plugin in their Wordpress!
- jerbacca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This one works fine for me. Thanks!
- neomits, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5thanks!
- aten, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7torrent any one?

The x86 works for me not sure about the x64.... - vinbob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Do you really think a Microsoft site can be brought down by a Digg or Slashdot link? Wake up.
Even though I'm not a Windows user, this is worth a download just to mess about in VMware, good link. - moiety, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Apparently spell check isn't for you, either.
- Qwfwq, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Digg worthy, no doubt. Can't wait to try Vista.
- davidrools, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5thanks very much. I can stop borrowing keys now.
For those who like to play with new technology, know how to install an OS and dual boot: go for it. Vista is pretty nifty and usable. Keep XP and dual boot so you'll have your reliable OS to fall back on.
For those who aren't into technology and just use the OS when you buy a computer and never think to change: don't bother with RC1. But don't complain about it if you haven't used it.
For the curious: I say sure, give it a try! you might have to learn some new things along the way, but it's a good experience. Just make sure you have your windows XP isntall discs or recovery CDs or whatever so you can go back if you don't like Vista. I do suggest learning how to repartition you HD (without having to wipe it) so you can keep your current XP install. Learning how to do that is another good experience in itself. - harrisonpowers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4worked, thanks.
- pixogen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4These keys will only work for pre RTM versions of vista. Microsoft isn't that incompetent :P
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This is awesome. I'm super...serial.

- CarlosReyes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yup
- IVIrMP3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The Beta 2 Keys we mentioned as being valid until October 28th. I believe the same was true for Office 2007 Beta and the free Trend-Micro 64-bit antivirus Beta.
- Hardcase, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I dunno, it works OK for me on a Centrino notebook. Of course, we all know that Windows is the OS we love to hate, so go figure.
- raj000777, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Thanks, that works. Got the key.
- revoked, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Everyone wanting to test out games in RC1, check out this post for latest drivers released by nVidia & ati:
http://www.msblog.org/2006/09/07/new-display-driver-for-windows-vista-rc1/
(not my blog, but it's been very up to date in regards to Vista) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They're okay up till June next year I believe. After that you'll have to buy (shudder) vista, of course by then you'll have probably bought it anyway so you can play any new games that require it.
- bi0metric, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4VIsta worked perfectly for me :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7This works, well done.
- slashdotislame, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hate to use it, is that close?
- disruptor108, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Same here, the page that is linked does not contain a header labeled "Download Instructions"
- JDelta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@skyshock21
Wow save image? You can highlight the serial to copy it, and save it to wordpad. - fuxjoey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4i see. that makes sense though. thx.
- edolnx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Following a few article links, I've found the Live login page that will let you get the RC1:

You will need a Passport/Live login, and there is a questionnare. It happily gave me an activation code and links to both the 32 and 64 bit versions. - balazs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2works, yes!!!!!!!
