It's just crazy to think all that... just relax yourself and wait a few more... you'll get what you seek soon.

I hate Vista, I can wait, no rush for me to put it on, but would like to know if SP1 final makes Vista work in the cases I use it.

If you want me to relax, send me on vacation :D

the fact that you can't get the RTM is irrelevant. you'd still have to uninstall the RC first. as for what happens if you don't? sorry i don't know. :p

i'm pretty sure "winver" will tell you the expiry date. just uninstall it before then. :)

I can't uninstall it as I'm using it now, but I won't have access to the PC for a year after Saturday.

BTW, build 18000 aka SP1 RTM doesn't expire

I don't have the RTM, and I'm not getting some spurious version.

hmmm.. crosses fingers that I don't end up with an egged PC.

well put the clock forward a year right now and reboot. you'll have your answer then. :p

on a more serious note, just make sure you backup any important files before saturday. then whatever happens really won't be of much consequence. :)

Well I did that registry tweak back on page 16 and now it's offering me RC1 one, and it links to the old SP1 page and doesn't note the KB number. Is this correct?

That's totally correct. The final RTM build has NOT been made available, hence all you will get is the last refresh build.

And you haven't considered that maybe the latest refresh build is what they used for RTM?

I'll just quote myself in here:

The 6001.18000.080118-1840-build is the RC1 Refresh 2 (a.k.a RC3) at least. But I somehow have a gut-feeling that's the build they sent to RTM. Wild speculations I know, but is plausible.

No one will ever know 100% before MS releases it on connect (if they do that), or comes with a statement. Afaik there is no confirmation from MS that the 080118-1840-build had a huge bug either.

I'm using a slipstreamed vlited 64-bit version of this, and haven't noticed any problems with it (Didn't have any problems with the first RC either though).

Yes, its possible.

But until the final comes out from an OFFICIAL source, it's only that. Speculation.

If it's the same build - why not release it now on MSDN/Connect? Advanced users and OEMs should be able to get working now with it.

Sorry, still not buying it. For now, the SP1 final build is not confirmed.

Isn't RC Refresh 2 (aka a possible RTM with my loose logic) released on MSDN/Connect? Microsoft works in mysterious ways, so there's no telling. Everybody assumed the desember leak of Vista was bogus, then it turned out it was the same thing available in stores in february.

As I understand it they are most likely one and the same, except that Microsoft hasn't officially released it with the label "RTM" yet. We'll only know for sure once they release RTM and/or make an announcement. But it appears we may have to wait till mid-March for that.

Yes, RC R2 is on MSDN/Connect. (The POSSIBLE rtm build, but not confirmed)

The December leak of Vista was the same as the retail because Vista came out in November for OEMs & Businesses. :|

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
