Windows Vista RC2 - am I wasting my time?

I've spent about 2 hours trying to find somewhere to download Windows
Vista RC2 5744 32-bit. I know it was up on the Microsoft site for a
while, so it must be OK to download it, if only I could find it.

Any suggestions?

Nigel;
Windows Vista RC-2 was only available for a few days and it is no longer
available.

.... from Microsoft. But surely it must be out there somewhere?

There are probably thieves distributing it somewhere.
But most software is available somewhere, much by thieves.
The illegitimate sources for anything have a far greater chance of being
deliberately altered by the distributer or others and this is just as true
with software.

Now wait a minute, how can they be thieves? The software was a free
download on the Microsoft site.

Not free to distribute.
