Just found an official MS link for downloading Vista 5728. I thought it
would be released just for registered tester?

Yes, Microsoft released it for anyone who wants to test it. All Windows OS
requires a product key. Just used the one that you go in the CPP Program
(beta 2).

Kevin,
Look at the times. They're three minutes apart. Some mail servers don't
deliver mail immediately. The post from Scott may not have shown up
on Kevin's mail server before Kevin replied. That's happened many times
to my posts. I've replied to a question that had no answers visible to me
but a few minutes later, I see two or three answers BEFORE mine.

As at least the previous two builds, no Product key is needed.
If no Product Key is entered, you will be able to choose which version,
Ultimate, Starter etc to install.
Since you will not be able to activate without a key, it will cease to
function after 15 or 30 days.

Michael;
I think I saw 30 days, but I am not sure.
I activated both installations almost right away and did not pay much
attention to that.
Normally I wait until about 5 days before the maximum time to be sure there
are no problems.
But for the Vista Beta I usually activate right away.
