Vista RC1 Build 5728 Publicly Released
ClausValca writes "Doing some late-night surfing last night and came across a post over at Cybernet News: Limited Time Only: Vista 5728 Available To The Public. Although apparently intended for the TAP and Technical Beta Testers....it is available for download to the public via this Microsoft public download page for Vista 5728. There is a link on that page as well for direct download of the latest 64-bit flavor of that version as well. An Ars Technica post also has some background info on the new release. Techweb is reporting that Microsoft is specifically asking for feedback on this release, so make sure and let them know what you think."

June 2007. (I see an AC replied but he has a score of zero, so I don't feel completely redundant posting this at 2.)
Had this puppy for a week already and may actually get around to installing it, this time....
"Ain't no right way to do a wrong thing."
"In addition, once you install Windows Vista RC1, you cannot roll back to the previous operating system installation--you will either have to acquire and install the final released edition of Windows Vista or reinstall a previous edition of Windows"
That's interesting, considering that Windows XP will let you roll back to the previous operating system.
