I registered me on the Windows Vista Page and got a Produkt key for vista rc1,
my quwstion is, which versoin of Vista could I install (HOME, PROFESSIONAL,
ULTIMATE)? Is there anybody who can help me with this problem?

If you are talking about the publicly available Beta, RC1, or now RC1.5, the
key you got from Microsoft will only activate as Vista Ultimate (which will
be the default if you enter the key correctly when prompted during the
install).
If you choose not to enter a key, you may choose another (watered down)
'version', but will only be able to play with it for a couple weeks as your
'ultimate' key will not activate it.

The key will only work for Ultimate.
 
Build 5728 does not differ from 5600. If you use a product key duing
installation you always get Ultimate. To preview other editions, install
without providing a product key and you will have the list of editions to
choose from.
