Hello,

I heard that one of the Microsoft servers has the XP RC1 for download. Does anyone know the link?

Thanks

Nice of them to exclude 70% of the world from participating isn't it.

I keep getting an error when I try to sign up for the download. The page says that I don't live in the US even though I do and that is what I entered in the form.
Can't get any reply from MS via email for this problem.
Can anyone point me in some other direction to get RC1? Maybe a direct URL, or some alternative method. Thanks.

All you have to do is sign up for the preview. It costs 10 bucks to download. Or 20 to have it sent to ya....

Ralf Hutter most like why that happing is being your ISP didn't setup it modem, cable or dsl, pool rigth so it think you live out side the USA.

The pics are fake. Look at 'em and think. Some mistakes are pretty obvious and some are not.

Microsoft doesn't refer to itself as plural such as in the first image where it states "Microsoft are...". Microsoft is considered as a single entity, and would read "Microsoft is..."
