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. :|

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By naap51stang · Posted

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      By naap51stang · Posted

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
