Windows Vista RC1 released on Connect

Published on September 1, 2006 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Microsoft has released Windows Vista RC1 on Microsoft Connect today. It appears this build is not yet public, but it should be released to testers of Beta 2 within a short period of time. If you have access to Vista through Microsoft Connect you should be able to download it without problems.

As soon as Vista RC1 is released to the public we will update you as soon as possible.

"To the TechBeta community:

It’s official — Windows Vista RC1 is done!

We could not have achieved this milestone without your support. The quantity and quality of feedback and data we received from you has been essential to helping us progress. Thus we wanted you to be the first customers outside of Microsoft to get access to the bits. Next week, a broader set of technical customers will get them via MSDN and TechNet. But you’re the first! We wanted to get it into your hands asap so you can start giving us feedback right away."

Yeah i know about it, I just hide the icon in the systray. Problem solved, its no longer a bother.

nvidia is doing well graphic wise. But their RC1 release is not as good as expected. I cannot game at all, Being I could on Beta 2. They didnt do much to the drivers. But I am sure that RTM (next month?) Will bring higher quality drivers. We don't want another creative happening

Eeesh, after reading Paul's repport, I think I will wait abit longer until they get photoshop and nero working on x64 version. Wonder if me x64 bit drivers will work

Its very stable , im running photoshop cs2 + office 2003 works very well and although it does occasionally crash when i give it a bit of abuse it certainly seems to recover without the constant Ctrl/Alt/Delete im familar with in XP. Im impressed but he graphics drivers are annoying my steady 4.5 in my performance index is dropped to 1 as the 6600 (AGP) only scores 1 ? i thought that would be reserved for onboard graphics and the like !
