Just got an email this morning to inform me that the final major pre-release of Windows Vista – Release Candidate 1 (RC1) – is now available for download for CPP participants.

So if you were a CPP Participant for Windows Vista Beta 2 Back in June then you should have by now receieved this email informing you that Windows Vista – Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is now available to download at the follwing links:

English:

Also for your convenience you should have received your Windows Vista Product Key again in the email just in case you can’t find it.
