re: Battle of the default browsers Monday, December 11, 2006 at 5:15 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David (20 messages posted) Mandy- as a consultant, I have no choice but to be running Vista on some machine, in order to prepare for the onslaught of questions I will be getting once my clients start buying machines with Vista pre-installed. I have tried everywhere to get RC2 (which I thought I would be getting automatically as a registered beta tester) but I seem stuck with RC1. I will, of course, be buying a version of the commercial Vista, once it is out. It is my obligation to my clients to do so. But this was an interesting problem, and since my objective is to figure them out/get answers here before they crop up in my clients' real life, I thought it would do no harm to ask. The problem with asking at a mozilla forum, is that the folks there don't necessarily run both browsers as regularly as I do. And TRY asking a mozilla quesyion at an IE forum :) Nevertheless, I appreciate your input here. Any idea where I can get a copy of RC2?
