Windows Vista RC1 hits Microsofts servers

September 7, 2006 by in Downloadable with 14 Comments

Fire up your browsers, RC1 of Windows Vista has hit Microsofts servers. This 2.2 GB download will take some time for sure.

If you are up tot he task of running a beta OS, you can download RC1 here.

Please note to install and actually use RC1, you will need to get a keycode from Microsoft here.

    Anyone know if it works is bootcamp? If no one knows, ill try it out, I just need to know if the imac is a 32 or 64 bit and where to get a keycode (or does beta 2 keycode work?)

  • mc

    How do I request a keycode? I don’t see anything on the linked page.

    quiero el windows vista beta 2

  • Colin

    Yup, it should work w/Boot Camp.

    I remember seeing a guide on how to use it with Beta 2 (this would be Beta 2).

    To get a KeyCode, email me at nylock10 [at] gmail [dot] com.

    I have a legal key that can be installed on up to 10 computers, I think with 4 left with all the VMWare installations I have done.

    For the download, get the 32-Bit one, I have an iMac too, and I love it. :)

    Yeap, it works in bootcamp, actually build 5536 and earlier builds work with bootcamp. I was downloading it yesterday at an incredible high speed (1.2 mb/s!)

    You can use it for 14 days without a key, then you have to activate. If you just want to play around with Vista for a few days, you can just leave the product key field blank and continue installing.

    32-bit works great with the iMac. There is a few problems though. I cant activate (when I click on activate now text in computer details, it doesnt do anything), the speaker drivers aren’t working, when I frist installed, windows explorer kept quiting, eject key dosent work, and im sure theres more but I havent found them yet. Norton 2006 doesn’t work, anyone know of any antivirus that does work?

  • Justin

    About effin time….I lost my keycode for Beta 2 and now I’m stuck with the disk and no key…

    btw. thanks

  • Jamie

    I’ve been downloading it for 3 days now. The 64 bit version is 3.9GB (that’s what I’m getting).

  • Nic

  • Kazaki
