How do I get SP1 RC1

[Daniel- Sydney]

Hi

I have Vista Ultimate,
how do I get the Service Pack 1 RC1?

I have run "Update" but it has not been an option, is there a site I can
download it from?

thanks

Not a good idea to install this beta. Wait until it is available in a few
months. Still has bugs and is difficult to install on some computers.

Why do you want it? Are you a masochist?

thanks for your concern, but this is for my second PC where I enjoy playing
around and experimenting, a perfect candidate for a beta or RC.

Are you able to guide me to a download?

thanks

Hi Daniel, Guess no one can give you the right answer! I can! Here you go,
just read the page and follow the directions on how to install it on that web
page. It's great, I think it has increase my speed within browsing the
internet.

You do realize that SP RC1 is time bombed and will quit working
in 6 months or so.

By that time, SP1 RTM will have been released.

Or, the user can uninstall SP1 RC1.

I wouldn't bet your lunch money on it ;-)

Only if the user has read this post and knows it's a time bomb, and
uninstalls it before the drop-dead date.

All that is clearly explained in the release notes and on the newsgroups for
Vista SP1 Tom.

They take it wider to get more feedback like anything you test and a lot of
people like to see what the newest will do. I'd simply uninstall it before
the relese notes say it times out. There will probably be a good deal of
overlap. There usually is.

I have Vista Ultimate, how do I get the Service Pack 1 RC1?

Daniel:

I got it via a TechNet subscription.

However, it repeatedly caused BSODs, so I removed it.
