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. :|

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.

      XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.

      Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
