Solve : Vista SP1 gets a little closer?

Answer» http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=1824



Microsoft just posted a release candidate of Vista Service Pack 1 (http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2007/12/05/announcing-windows-vista-sp1-release-candidate-rc.aspx) for its gaggle of official beta testers. The code will be unveiled for PUBLIC scrutiny next week.

As for the final release schedule, here’s what Microsoft’s Nick White REPORTS:

Quote
[W]e’re on track to complete and release SP1 in the first quarter of 2008. When SP1 is complete and we reach our release to manufacturing (RTM) MILESTONE, then shortly after the standalone installer will be released to the Web in two waves. The first wave will consist of the standalone installer (x86 and x64) for the 5 initial languages — English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. These languages will be deployed shortly after the RTM milestone. The second wave will launch 8-12 weeks after the first and will consist of all remaining languages, for both chip architectures (x86 and x64)

I’ve finished downloading the x86 and x64 betas and will pass along my experiences when I can. For what it’s worth, “release candidate” is still beta. It can and will have bugs, so don’t even think about installing this not-quite-ready-for-prime-time player unless you know what you’re signing up for.

The good NEWS is that previous betas in this series have been easy to remove. I expect this release to follow in that tradition.
I don't know how these people are ignoring the Non-Disclosure Agreement...i had to AGREE to it.
