"MALLOC DISK SPACE PLEASE WAIT "
what does this mean ??
 
The RC1 build has been completed and is on connect.... So I guess its not a very good thing that u order the DVD for pre-RC1 now...It'll b wasting your Rs.700 or something around that !!

Also by the time most ppl finish their downloads....we'll have the torrents for RC1 available...Anyways.... ppl who wanna download...just take care that u r downloading build 5536 as part of the rc1 branch and no other build....

I guess MS is not giving product keys.... You mayb able to use Beta2 serials to activate, but then I can't verify cause...Im using a different key given to beta testers..... But then dont wory about it...I think u can use it for 30 days without activation !!

CONNECT ..downloads..are only for the ppl who registered long..back..as beta testers..so now its not possible for ppl...not having a connect accnt..to download..the pre-rc1...so its better to download from the public release !!

MALLOC DISK SPACE means flashget is checking if their is enough space on ur hard drive to contain the download ...its not a problem ..dont worry.
btw can somebody tell me where can i get the serial / activation code for vista ????

ya the downloads ..started..but where to get the product key from ??can i use the old pruduct key..of the vista i got from merawindows.com..or will the product key be different..?:D
 
The beta 2 serials work for this one....I just tried activating again after you posted the question... I dont know...which serial u got from merawindows.com, but if u got a DVD from them, then that serial would definately work... Anyother beta2 serial will work... These had a 10 PC license...

The malloc procedure takes time to allocate memory, but if u wait for a few moments the download starts..
 
I have the worst luck.. was DLing the pre-RC (80 pct DLed).. and my broswer froze, lost the DL and then MS said the 100,000 had been met and they closed the program.. what LOUSY timing..

It's Official: Windows Vista RC1 Is Complete

This just in: Platforms and Services Co-President Jim Allchin has just now posted an announcement that RC1 is complete on the TechBeta/TAP site (note that it's password-protected). We’re reproducing the text here so that you all can see his comments. As per usual, we’re initially rolling out the code to the TechBeta and TAP programs alone, while MSDN and TechNet subscribers will be offered access next week.

To the TechBeta community:

It’s official — Windows Vista RC1 is done!

We could not have achieved this milestone without your support. The quantity and quality of feedback and data we received from you has been essential to helping us progress. Thus we wanted you to be the first customers outside of Microsoft to get access to the bits. Next week, a broader set of technical customers will get them via MSDN and TechNet. But you’re the first! We wanted to get it into your hands asap so you can start giving us feedback right away.

You’ll notice a lot of improvements since Beta 2. We’ve made some UI adjustments, added more device drivers, and enhanced performance. We’re not done yet, however — quality will continue to improve. We’ll keep plugging away on application compatibility, as well as fit and finish, until RTM. If you are an ISV, RC1 is the build you should use for certifying your application.

The operating system is in great shape with RC1, but there’s still a lot of testing to do. You’ve come through for us so far, and I’m asking you to once again put the pedal to the metal and send us feedback. Windows Vista is going to touch hundreds of millions of lives all around the world. Thanks for everything you’re doing to help us give them the best experience possible
