It's Official: Windows Vista RC1 Is Complete

Man, I just finished downloading 5536....  Guess I'll wait until this one hits MSDN.

10 hours remaining... slow this time 

* you should change title too:  "RC1 available!" 

Downloading now, gonna take about an hour.

I hope the build labs will have a DVD ready to pick up. This is going to be interesting

Somehow, I don't expect it to be that much different from 5536.

Also, build number 5600... I'm sure that's a coincidence.

Just like Windows 98 being build number 1998 was a coincidence, and DirectX 9 being build number 900 was too.

woohoo!

I cant even get the download started

will do it in the morning....just got Pre-RC1 how I liked aswell - nevermind, its ready to be wiped.

Waiting for the new server build said to be released with Vista RC1.

Download complete, burning DVD now. See you on the other side.

gimme! i want.

back to 3 hours... 

* i got a new keyboard with stupid "wake up / sleep / power" where print screen used to be

needless to say - i WOKE UP

520k down to 70k after complete shutdown

who ever invented shut down keys for keyboards should be shot
(mac ha)

Break those keys out and tape the hole over. Seriously. Those three keys are the worst idea ever in keyboard design.

I had a keyboard like that on a server once. Now that was a bad idea.

Macs actually ASK you if you want to shut down when you press the shutdown key... 

BTW, the cash registers at one of my previous places of employment had those kinds of keyboards...  once one of the managers got adventurous and pressed the "Suspend" key.  These were Win2000 machines, so when you bring them out of standby, the computer's locked-- except no one knew the password (these computers always stay on).

Media Centre still hates my graphics card. Stupid Nvidia, anyone know if they are bringing out new drivers any time soon?

If the length of time its taken for Vista Builds to become available on MSDN in the past is any indication...... you can install 5536 and play with it for a few months...
