The general public can download Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 now for a limited time before Microsoft plugs it. They say once the capacity will be reached, you won't be allowed access to that download. So the fastest person wins...

Nick White, Microsoft Product Manager says :

 “Windows Vista RC1 is now publicly available. This means that 32- and 64-bit downloads for all three languages (English, German, and Japanese) are live. If you did not receive and email in the previous wave, you can now both download the ISO image and request a product key (PID)”

Downloading details for Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 according to Pcworld:

Just head to Microsoft's Windows Vista web site, click on "Get Windows Vista RC1" and you can sign up for the CPP (which stopped accepting new participants subsequent to the Beta 2 release but is now taking them again). Note that you'll have to register with Windows Live (which requires providing an e-mail address--I use my old HotMail address).
