In der letzten Nacht hat [url=http://www.microsoft.de]Microsoft[/url] den Release Candidate 1 von Windows Vista für 20.000 technische Betatester (TechBeta) freigegeben. Die Buildnummer 5600-16384 steht nun in englischer und deutschter Sprache als 32- und 64 Bit Version zum Download bereit. Nächste Woche soll der Release Candidate 1 von Windows Vista 500.000 MSDN und TechNet Abonnenten sowie drei Millionen weiteren Testern im Rahmen des Customer Preview Programms (CPP) kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Nochmals zwei Millionen sollen als DVD-Beilagen in Zeitschriften an potenzielle Kunden verteilt werden. Die Verbesserungen des RC1 zur Pre-RC Version dürften sich auf einige Details beschränken, genauere Angaben können hier noch nicht gemacht werden. Screenshots folgen sobald der Download beendet ist und wir den Release Candidate 1 erfolgreich installieren konnten.It’s official — Windows Vista RC1 is done!
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. Thus we wanted you to be the first customers outside of Microsoft to get access to the bits. Next week, a broader set of technical customers will get them via MSDN and TechNet. But you’re the first! We wanted to get it into your hands asap so you can start giving us feedback right away.
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.
The operating system is in great shape with RC1, but there’s still a lot of testing to do. You’ve come through for us so far, and I’m asking you to once again put the pedal to the metal and send us feedback. Windows Vista is going to touch hundreds of millions of lives all around the world. Thanks for everything you’re doing to help us give them the best experience possible.
