SenVa Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 http://weblog.infoworld.com/techwatch/archives/007744.html It's official: Microsoft has made Release Candidate 1 of Windows Vista available to its beta testers. According to an entry in the Windows Vista Team Blog, Microsoft Platforms and Services Co-President Jim Allchin marked the occasion with an e-mail message to the TechBeta and TAP Test community saying "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." RC1 will be released to a broader audience next week via MSDN and TechNet, and ISVs will be able to use this build of Vista to certify their applications, Allchin said in the message. It isn't out to the public yet... Only to a small group of people outside of microsoft. So expect to see it on a few torrent sites in the next few hours... a day or two at the most.

SenVa Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I wonder if they only have a 32bit rc1 out... the 2 versions of the 64bit pre-rc1 were never released... Do you think there are still major bugs in it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26476-rc-1-released/#findComment-179659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, anyone who participated in testing of Beta 2 will also be given the opportunity to download/order RC1.

tripleboot Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Very exciting as I heard this morning it was posted on Connect. Last I heard Connect was down. Yes I'm very pumped about RC-1. I wasn't expecting it until next week or the week after so this is a big surprise consdidering MS has never been early on about anything. Man I just got 5552 all tweaked out too.

xiberia Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 apparently, RC1 is going out to six million people, not just the 1000s that had pre-rc1. I've been holding off testing Vista (mainly because I didn't want to download a new ISO each month), but now they're RC1 I think I'll jump in Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26476-rc-1-released/#findComment-179760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVENGE Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Trust me, 5536 has been loads better than Beta 2. I really need RC1 though because stupid interim releases don't have OpenGL.

MacSpaces Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Wow is blazing fast on my macbook pro After this release if people keep saynig that microsoft is behind and vista is not ready their just in denial-vista is here and we finally recieved what microsoft promised back in 2002. On my 1.83ghz,1gb of ram macbook pro with boot camp it installed in 20 minutes. Boot time is anywhere between 3-4 seconds and just the hwole feeling is extremely fast. Of course because im on a macbook somethngs dont work (isight double tap etc) but man mac os x top secret better be huge-vista seems ready for public use, its amazing how far its come and how well it performs you cant deny this release microsoft put alot of effort into this project and for that i give them props. As a company their trying really hard to outshine them selfs. vista rocks-leopard is buggy cant wait for a more stable mac beta Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26476-rc-1-released/#findComment-179999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenVa Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I never signed up for beta 2... then I signed up for the free vista beta 2 disk thing, but never got my disks. So I guess I am keyless as of right now... but I know a few people that I might be able to barrow a key from.
