offering to download RC1 as a download

That's sort of my point.

If wasn't for a couple of ppl posting actual file names (here and on their
livespaces pages) how else would one find these downloads?

Of course it was easy to change the URL from /rc1/ to /rc2/ and bam you have
the link. But was the link actually made public?

Not that I really care, just curious about how it's getting leaked when MS
itself is still offering RC1 and not RC2 to download. Nor have I gotten any
email to invite me to a download.

So before I post my thoughts about RC2, I want to make sure I've haven't
done anything illegal.

Just my two cents.

What is the point of only releasing RC2 to a limited group? If this is the
last release before RTM, wouldn't they want as many folks hammering at the
code as possible? I've been running RC1 and like it but would love to see
what's been fixed with RC2. RC2 should be availible to everyone who has been
already running and testing Vista....
