Dazzlin,

Is this from a good source?

I originally had marked my calender for this Friday a week or so ago, but then I had heard that RC1 would come out "officially" in the first week of September.

Let's hope that you are right..

One more thing to note. When you order the RC1 from the above link you get an option on shipping that says this:


Please choose your shipping option:
Domestic Standard - Your order will be shipped via USPS Standard Mail when the product becomes available in September 2006. We will make every effort to ship your order as soon as possible but please note that your shipment may be held up because of a back ordered item.
Domestic Express - Your order will be shipped via DHL 2-day Express when the product becomes available in September 2006. We will make every effort to ship your order as soon as possible but please note that your shipment may be held up because of a back ordered item.

I've heard the first week of September as well (and Sept. 7 to be precise), but I think the source for this Friday is credible. I could always be wrong though. We'll know soon.

To me its all the usual garb about how 'this will be so much better than that' etc

Finally received the DVDs from this offer. After having RC1 (and RC2) installed for over a month, the DVDs finally arrived.

I had started to think that this was a bogus deal and I was hoping that some of you folks didn't get ripped off like I thought that I had.

These DVDs came in a cardboard jacket instead of plastic case and they have some extras. I didn't open it yet but the paper says it has step by step guides and vouchers for discounts on Windows Vista training..

Funny though how long it took to get something that I paid for. My Windows Feedback Panel (WFP) DVDs (RC1 too) took nearly as long.

On my main PC, I can only run RC1 because I am doing the WFP beta test and you are not allowed to update the build. The WFP beta is only produced in x86 and is fully supported by MS Support, which is pretty nice..
