Vista RC1 for MS Partners

Does anyone know if Microsoft is going to send copies of Vista RC1 out to
its Partner Program Action Pack subscribers. I got Vista beta 2 in an
Action Pack update, but I don't want to wait until October (when the next
update ships) to start using Vista RC1.

I am not part of the CPP, but did receive beta 2. If not, will Microsoft
open up the CPP program again so I can download RC1 on my own time?

Hello,

Vista RC1 will be available to the CPP users soon. You'll be able to
download it then.

Microsoft has hinted that there will be opportunities for new participants
either through CPP or new public programs or both. No details have been
published.
