Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

Microsoft today released Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of Windows Vista, a significant milestone on Windows Vista 5.jpgthe road to the launch of the new operating system, which has been in the works for five years.

The RC1 version of Vista offers a long list of operational and performance improvements over the Beta 2 version, including faster performance, improved driver support, an easier-to-use networking interface and a variety of changes to the “fit and finish” of the operating system, said testers.
