485614 2006-10-09 03:31:00 Vista RC2 has been releaced... see here (blogs.technet.com)

As far as RC1 goes, I am very happy with it, like the eye candy but then I am running it at full with no performance loss :D. So far most (95%) of apps work easily and only 3 crashes... but two of them were due to me :xmouth: :p

I am going to run Vista as my main soon :D

Thanks for that. I downloaded it and no problems other than that some software it said wouldn't work doesn't.

Strangely enough two of the applications areIntelliType and IntelliPoint both by Microsoft!

Strangely enough two of the applications areIntelliType and IntelliPoint both by Microsoft! Good to know, is there anything obvious between RC1 and RC2 if you had RC1? I should *hopefully* be getting RC2 tomorrow, that is if a friend downloads it and brings it to school tomorrow :D downloading two Vista ISOs kinda impacts on the monthly cap :p

Ha ha, that is M$ for you... :groan:

But I had to boot into XP this morning (after using Vista for two weeks) and was surprised... just how slow XP was at booting and generally running :yuck: Vista for me :D

485616 2006-10-09 23:28:00 Ignore the link I posted above, it is now invalid MS have removed it from the server and is now not available for download, Vista RC2 has been removed...

If anyone downloaded it in this time, are you able to get it onto a server or to someone who has? so others can get it :)

485617 2006-10-11 21:13:00 If anyone has RC2 and is willing to burn a copy and send it to me PM me please. I am willing to pay for the blank disc and postage!! :thumbs: Tukapa (62)
485618 2006-10-11 21:40:00 Ive got RC2 on the way down now. If anybody else wants it, it'll be international bandwidth, but you'll be getting it, and Ive maxed my 2mbps connection from the server before, so it should be good :D

Just waiting for it to finish so I can confirm the MD5 hashes.

How long does Vista RC2 last per-install before it expires?

I will have:
vista_5744.16384.061003-1945_x86fre_client-lrmcfre_en_dvd.iso

Search for it on Google and all links are expires redirects to Microsoft, SUCH a pain!

Anyways, its currently coming at 148K/s so shouldnt be too long. Im gonna go get a haircut then come back with the results :)

485621 2006-10-12 00:42:00 I have it (Vista RC2), but at this stage am only dealing with those in Taranaki, as I dont have the bandwidth available to upload (nor the speed)

Incidentally, it is still floating round various torrent sites

485622 2006-10-16 09:50:00 Just an update on RC2, Chilling_Silence is uploading it to a server, should be ready to go tomorrow, if you want a copy PM either him or me (must have atleast 150+ posts to qualify) and we will give you the link, the server will allow 5 connections per IP meaning you can use something like Getright with multiple segments to max your connection.
