Ok, I just got a Vista Capable Gateway laptop, ok it's my wifes, but we want to go ahead and install the Vista RC1 release, just for giggles. My question however is... Which do/should I download? The 32bit or 64bit version?? I know probably some silly question, but hey, I don't know. Thanks for the help.

P.S. If we install Vista and just don't like it, can we just use the Gateway operating system cd to restore to factory settings??

Thanks again.

You definitely want the 32-bit version. And ... I would say you also probably want to go with RC2 since it is the latest and closest to final release candidate ...

Thank you for the reply, but is there an RC2?? I'll check that out. Thank you.

Sorry, my bad. There is an RC2, but MS released it, then cut off the ability to get it once it reached 200,000 downloads or something ....

Cool, I searched and found links for RC2 but they lead back to RC1, guess I'll suffer... Thanks a lot for the info. And now this thread will fade quietly into oblivion *sigh*
