Microsoft Wednesday began offering Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 to users who had downloaded the Beta 2 of the next-generation operating system in June.

"The final major pre-release of Windows Vista -- Release Candidate 1 -- is now available for priority access by Customer Preview Program participants only," Microsoft said on the CPP Web site Wednesday.

"If you registered for this program in June, please look for a recent e-mail message from Microsoft with information regarding RC1," the site stated.
