Testers question stability of latest Vista beta
Monday, August 7th, 2006
What began as a murmur a few months back is turning into an audible grumble as beta testers and
experts question the stability of the latest Windows Vista beta and Microsoft itself hints at yet another release delay. Testers and pundits alike say Vista Beta 2, released publicly in June, is plagued by bugs and blue screens. Some testers are saying a Beta 3 cycle, which is not currently planned, may be needed and that the software isn’t ready for final testing before shipment, which Microsoft calls a Release Candidate (RC1).
Microsoft said two weeks ago that RC1 of Vista would ship before the end of September.
Currently, the final release of Vista for corporate customers is targeted for November. But Microsoft’s Kevin Johnson, the co-president of the platform and services division, told financial analysts in late July that while Vista is on schedule the code would not ship until it was ready.
