RC1 Availability Update
OK, so I've been getting RC1-related questions a lot, both via blog comments and directly over email: Will Microsoft open testing sign-ups again when RC1 is released?
Yes.
Will the Customer Preview Program be available for those who missed out on Beta 2 to sign up and get RC1?
Yes.
If I participated in Beta 2 by downloading a PID and the build, will I be able to participate in RC1 automatically?
Yes.
I know you're excited. So am I -- and I'm using a newer build (5505) ! More news when it's available.

Is the build number has a particular significance or is it juste a kind of water mark. Maybe a post on build number should be in order :D - Anonymous

compugab: Youre right, it's really only significant as a watermark and in relation to Beta 2, which was build 5384. - Anonymous

Nick I have been running Vista Beta 2 quite successfully since its original release, and as many, I too am very excited about the upcoming RC1 Release. I'd would love to continue my Vista Experience. Look forward to it. When you have a set release date please let me know. - Anonymous
