Probably not the ideal forum....but I was lent a copy of Vista 64 bit RC2
and have installed it without a set of Keys and am very keen to
continue...my initial impressions are very favourable.....Can I become legit
some way? happy to pay...well sort of happy.... or should I just go back to
Legit XP64 bit and be patient?

RC2 is legit as long as you have the product key. Just activate it. It
will cease working after June 30 next year. Upgrade to the retail edition
before then or you will have to do a clean install.

OK I got a product key but when I go to Activate using this key I get this
error message:

The product key you have entered will not work with this edition of Windows
Vista.

You must either run Windows Vista Setup or enter a Windows Vista Business
product key.

So where to from here?

The product key is only good for the Ultimate edition. You will have to
re-install, choosing that edition, or enter your key when Setup prompts you
to do so, whereby it will automatically install the Ultimate edition.
