Windows Vista RC1 Complete

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the inching-ever-closer dept.

alienfluid writes to mention that RC1 of Windows Vista is now complete. This 'nearly complete' version of the operating system is already available to beta testers, and will be available to everyone else soon. From the article: "You'll notice a lot of improvements since Beta 2. We've made some UI adjustments, added more device drivers, and enhanced performance. We're not done yet, however -- quality will continue to improve. We'll keep plugging away on application compatibility, as well as fit and finish, until RTM. If you are an ISV, RC1 is the build you should use for certifying your application."

    Do you really think anybody cares when you switched to Linux? Here's a tip, they don't. If that is the only point you came to make perhaps you should reconsider posting. Being a Linux troll doesn't make you special.

    Guess I am an MS troll now. Oh well, couldn't care less.

  2. Windows Vista - So What? by twzop · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Who cares? I have been beta testing versions of Windows since Chicago (later came to be known as Windows 95). I have been using Vista for quite some time now and even though some things seem better such as the new start menu and the way that 3D rendering is handled, I am not blown away. I would much rather run Ubuntu Linux with Compiz and OpenGL. Vista is still bloatware and it will be really interesting to see how quick the OS is ridden with worms, spyware, and viruses. I for one don't plan on giving Microsoft more money for their software until they release an OS that is totally useful and original.
