I just purchased the disc from MS for RC1 but it tells me that the build
number is 5600. I know there is a more recent build why isn't Windows update
working and updating my computer? Does anyone know how to update? I am
concerned that the Windows update feature really is not performing as it
should. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jon

Newer builds of Windows Vista RC1 are only available to authorized
Microsoft beta testers and not to the general public. Windows
Update does not distribute any newer builds of Vista.

Thank you. I was reviewing some postings and saw references to other builds
so I was not sure if my Windows Update feature was not working. Thanks Again!
