Ordering Vista RC1 DVD

[TonyA]

I.m having no joy with this. i have registered on Windows passport and verified as instructed. When I fill in details get error message saying I've exceeded 3 attempts. When I contacted MS in Cape Town, was told DVD only available in 4 weeks. Anyone know whats going on?

Well, RC2 is already out

 

[TonyA]

Yeah but very much beta Apparently RC1 works.

And it works well...

RC2 should be newer and MORE stable (work even better) than RC1. Well, acccording to my limited knowledge of these things...

 

[nGAGEd55]

yeah, why wouldn't RC2 be better than RC1?

 

[TonyA]

Well Who knows just trying the get the RC1 dvd is an impossible task. Probably have to wait for official release and then see what happens

 

[TonyA]

Will try MS JHB on Monday and see what their repsonse is. Otherwise anybody have RC1 on DVD in Cape Town area for a fee?

I doubt they'd still ship RC1 DVD's since RC2 is out.

Well I ordered RC1 online last Sunday, my account is yet to be debited - nor have I received any confirmation of the transaction

Can't get past the email verification page. It just tells me I've exceeded the limit.

You have to first create an account using the MSN Which is Hotmail'...Once this account is set up then you start the process of registration again then instead of using the MSN E-mail Account to register then put in your alias Mweb Address...Try that it worked for me...

I've been verified by MSN live but it appears that MS Vista doesn't recognise this. I'll try your method.

You will be varified but now they are wanting your personal e-mail address...

 

[TonyA]

Which they have. I can log onto MS Passport with no problem but still can't get past the screen that says limite exceeded.

IE Does it make a difference, do I have to change a setting or something?
