Windows Vista To RTM - Nov. 6th


Recommended Posts

So tomorrow the big nightmare The operating system formerally known as Vista will be behind Microsoft and they can concentrate on Windows Vienna due 3 years from now. :) :p

only after sp1 and implementation of all the other features which were cut out. :laugh:

I am really hoping we get this on Connect. I doubt it though but it be nice. I remember for the XP Service Pack there was a nice RTM build there with key when I was done, so hopefully they are nice enough to put it on there for us, if not oh well I'll buy it.

Dont hold your breath... huge differance in a SP and a OS

on a side note:

As for Windows Vista R2 (codenamed "Vienna"), I think it's safe to say that the calm and calculating hand of Steven Sinofsky will ensure that this and other future Windows versions will arrive on schedule and be evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, upgrades. Sinofsky's record with Microsoft Office is as clear as it is successful, and there's little doubt he'll have a positive effect on the Windows Division.

Windows Vista R2 codenamed Vienna??? :blink: I thought Windows Vienna (formerly known as Blackcomb) is next OS generation (NT 7.0) and is successor to Windows Vista?

and I thought Fiji was Vista R2. but it looks more like the codename for SP1, whitch will be vista NT kernal 6.1

Ive been using this thing for 4 some years now, and now i finally get to see it. It wasnt a long wait, if i remember right when i started using it, the word was it was going to come out about now, but that wasnt official. So im not upset like other people, because ive been with this since the begining, and it has come a long long way.

I still perfer 4074 over any OS so far.

Oh well, I am not sure if Paul made some mistakes in clarifying the Windows codename when writing his article. Anyone else who can clarify this issue?

when this is released can you do an upgrade from rc2?

MS does not block build to build updates (RC2 is treated as an interim than a point release), but this may cause some unpredicted issues. A clean install is much easier and faster too, and you can use Windows Easy Transfer to copy all prefs back to the new installation.

You're right and he's wrong. The Blackcomb codename was changed to Vienna in January, or at least that's when the public heard of it. Not sure about the NT 7, but it's a planned successor anyway.

Uhh doesn't that mean it was already compiled on the 1st of November?

Yeah but I guess there's some work to do on it afterwards, bureaucracy, etc:):)

We can't just download it directly from their build lab servers:D:D

Yes, it does. Ask all those companies with SA if it matters.

but dont they have a contract with microsoft that says they have to get a new version of windows as part of this year's sa. i thought that was the reason business was getting it before the end of 2006, so microsoft don't get sued. :s

    • I like mesh chairs like this, but not being able to lock in the back would make it not work for me. Also, I don't like arm rests at all. Can you not install them and the chair still work? Any recommendations on alternative chairs?
    • As before, my notes are in your quoted section. To be clear, you started posting racist, fascist nonsense. And I always challenge lies and the liars that peddle them. Why? Because the truth matters.
    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
