Thanks to my friend Neobond from Neowin for this news: One member's reaction was "Whooo!!! Thanks!!" Another said"transfer rates are pretty decent, i am getting 743kb/second i am sure later on the servers are gonna get hammered once the emails start flowing into inboxes". Yes folks, it's finally here. The moment you've all been waiting for: Windows Vista RC1, the same build testers received on Friday.
Microsoft notes on the website: Windows Vista RC1 is available for participants of the Windows Vista Customer Preview Program. Please go to the Customer Preview Program website to register and receive a Product Key, which is required to install and activate the software.
For those of you who are brave enough to update: Before upgrading from Beta 2 to RC1, please install any Critical Updates from Windows Update for Beta 2. Go to Start, All Programs, Windows Update, and click the “Check for Updates†button.
