No

but you may be able to get a slipstreamed DVD from MSFT.

I have a good feeling some people will be disappointed with Vista SP1.

I'm sure it will be as MS has to slipstream it somehow... You'll just have to download the standalone package I'm sure.

Someone is always unhappy with something ;)

[:: Lyon ::]

You can't make everyone happy :)

There will always be unhappy people - But I for one, can't wait to give it a spin.

[1Frothy]

I'm unhappy. :/ There's no slipstreamed version on Connect yet. :( But it looks like its coming soon!

[Randolph]

Can't wait! I really want to make the switch. Waiting on the SP1 so I can slipstream it!

Keep us updated. (Y)

[jefexp]

anyone know the RC build number?

[alpha_omega]

668

[Danrarbc]

Wasn't the 3.5GB the whole ISO.

Yes, the first release was a slipstreamed ISO only.

Choppy audio? I'd blame your sound card maker, and not Microsoft.

Well, I am running the RC and so far I see no problems.....no improvements either though. One thing I did notice is that one of my Ultimate "Extras" is now installed: Dreamscene (i think that is what it was called) is no longer listed as an available update. Only the BitLocker and Hold Em are available to install (I never installed them).

Noticed that too, but cant find dreamscene listed under wallpaper changes. Wierd...Where is Poirot?

Nothing too obvious other than the improved a bit backup and restore center, exFAT filesystem support for external USB flash drives, and the VERY improved copy/move speed, well done MS (Y).

[lothodon]

is there really anything in sp1 that isn't included in the automatic updates? isn't that what sp's typically are, just a mass bundling of all the possible updates to that point?

What you said is a part of any service pack, but new features may be added as well, also some fixes that simply can't be released on Windows Update (Kernel updates, major file system changes, etc).

Make sure your chipset drivers are installed properly..this happened to me and that fixed it.

ya I installed the latest one of those too, last ones released was the July 2nd for the Nforce 430

which sucks, because I wanted to buy myself a podcasting USB microphone for Xmas, but doesn't do much good if the audio skips

Well my onboard audio seems to work pretty good, now I don't know what to think!

The choppy audio always happens with realtek cards in my experiance with vista, but if you right click on the speaker icon and find "disable audio enhancements" or something it fixes it.
