Guest sendmarksmail Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I thought Microsoft was planning to release Vista RC1 to the public on the 5th of September? What the heck happened to that? Has it been moved to another day? I checked the forums and there seems to be no questions. Sorry if this has been posted.

Code.Red Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Where was September 5th mentioned? I just remember hearing "sometime after labor day."

Guest sendmarksmail Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Oh really? I read it in some of the topics here on Neowin, I'm too lazy to find it. Haha. I managed to try pre-rc1 and it was actually twice as fast as beta 2, at least for my computer.

wase4711 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Haven't you been reading any of the forums on the web? I would say at least half the people who have tried to install RC1 have had problems of some sort, so obviously, Microsoft cant release a flaw infested release to the general public... I have tried at least 12 times to install this, and always get the infamous black screen/flashing cursor at the end, and it never gets any further..Read the posts on the web,and you'll see what I mean..

MidnightDevil Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Well, im not exception, my install went fine, but still, i find it a heavy operating system. Needs a LOT OF TWEAKS.

metalguy90 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 its just a matter of time before that link works. in the meantime... why not download it? connect users were told to use beta 2 keys for RC1.... RC1 is more stable than previous release but still many bugs that need to be worked out.

Scirwode Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I can't seem to find the link where it says I can retrieve a serial number. I've lost my previous Beta 2 serial as I had accidently formatted my external harddrive. Does anyone know where it is?
