Future Upgrade ?s

ctellis156 · External Since: Aug 27, 2006 Posts: 16

I purchased the ccp edition from msft and recieved on dvd and have been using
it for a few weeks now and i have to say im enjoying it. But my question is
that now that ive missed this pre rc1 release because i only have dial up and
the download time would be insane, will the release of rc1 be available on
the dvd like the edition that i have? Also will i be able to recieve this for
free seeing as im already participating in the beta testing process? Will i
have to resign up for this release or will they just send me the upgrade? And
in the end when Vista is going to be released will we tester get a discount
to just upgrade since we already have beta software running?

Hello ctellis156,

The RC1 build...from my understanding will be shipped to you at no additional
charge.

Does "No additional charge" mean free, or will we still have to pay for
shipping?
