Windows Vista RC1 Released
Despite rumors and speculation from testers of Windows Vista Beta 2 that the operating system was woefully incomplete, Microsoft has pulled through and released the first release candidate (RC1) earlier today. Windows Vista is the next-generation Microsoft OS meant to replace Windows XP, adding new features and eye-candy. Microsoft’s Jim Allchin posted an announcement concerning the release, but it is only availible to TechBeta or TAP participants. There is no word yet on the stability, usability, or new features in this release but it is probably safe to assume that the OS is considerably less problematic than the previous build. So, if you are a tester, hurry on up to download the file.

I have the RC1 build running on my computer right now. I definentally have to say that it runs much better than the previous build and their arent as many glitches. I remember last time how the sound never worked on my computer and neither did my wirless card. I had to find patches that came out days later. Luckily with the new build everything is resolved (basically). It looks great and I believe that when Microsoft releases their final product it will do well. Though, I enjoy Macs more and I am going to go ahead and by one of those Mac Pros before I go ahead and buy Vista.
