    Yes Nelix you are spot on....but to be a member of the Micrsoft Partner program is very easy...you fill in a form on their website and as long as you can show your business is I.T based and uses MS software (they just have a look at your website) then you are in! Its also free to be a registered member and you don't have to jump through hoops like you do to be a certified member :D

    ok people there has been a revolution...it seems Microsoft have now decided to make RC1 of Vista public which u can get here for those who were unable to before. simply sign in with MSN passport (or if u havent registered I think its still ok) and away u go...

    I haven't got RC1 to install in VMWare either, I didn't have any problems getting Beta 2 installed though.

    maybe I am losing my mind...but I just got a text from a friend of mine who just told me that Vista RC2 is out...I cant find this on M$'s website and the reliable source I normally visit doesnt have anything about it either...he says he was told this by his IT college tutor that one of the guys there has installed it...anyone else able to clarify this?

    I thought as much...altho he is still adamant there is an RC2 out there...I have searched hi and low for it...and all I could find was a torrent which stated it was actually Beta 2 and not RC2...apparently the guy at his college says u have to be a member of Microsoft Connect in order to get it...well I went onto there and still cant find anything. I told him to send me the link when he gets home...so we will see...but I dont think its true either...and if it maybe he is talking about Vista Beta 1 and then they must have released RC2 or something for that...but even so I aint heard anything cos I normally get the inside scoop first...

    well its happened and as we speak I am now downloading the latest release...otherwise known as Release Candidate 2...lets hope this really is the last one before the full release...even if it isnt I hope its better than RC1...download here :biggrin

    EDIT: According to my source of Vista info, Microsoft say this will be the last build before the full version is released. So guys get working on it...send as many bug reports possible (I know I will and I dont send that many!!) and lets hope we can help to get Vista fully ready for that release date of Jan 30th 2007...:biggrin...of course if u aint with me I dont mind going alone and carrying the flag for CF! :iluvcf :salut
