    Upcoming Vista User

    in Windows Vista

    Besides not knowing what RTM means

    RTM stands for Release to Manfacturing. It is the final build of Vista; the version that eventually ships out to the public. According to Paul Thurrott, it is scheduled to be created next week (possibly tomorrow, even), but not distributed yet.

    Welcome to MSFN ;)

    activation confusion on final vista release

    in Windows Vista

    Posted · Edited by WBHoenig

    I used Ubuntu Linux as my primary OS for about three months and loved it. My only two drawbacks are Dreamweaver and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

    But actually, the new EULA is not like people claim, because that number of '1' is refreshed every time you transfer it. Basically, it ensures that you cannot install it on one PC, then uninstall it from there and reinstall it on forty-seven different machines at once.

    Windows Vista RC2

    RC2 is by far less stable for me, too... what's up, Microsoft? This should be near RTM "quality"!

    From what I know, by the way, RTM will be bumbed up to 6000 so it looks better. And the version texts on all these are kinda funny, e.g. 5782 was listed as 'RC1' in the text in the bottom-right area of the desktop, and the EULA still says RC1, yet this says RTM.

    Enron vs dell

    I've noticed that for a while - probably because Dell is a local buisness here. They're based in Round Rock, which is a 'burb of Austin, where I live.

    I can't say that Dell isn't evil, though! Their laptops are the worst! Their desktops are okay; all school is filled with both Dell desktops and laptops. They have the desktops running just fine and honestly they are some of the best XP-based computers I've ever run, but the laptops are pure ****.

    wow 128 builds since RC1, and that's all they manage? the **** sidebar still minimizes when u press show desktop, that's what I wanted fixing, it seems to have also stopped working with free avg (not completely but windows defender seems to not like the resident shield, and I cant see a way to get it to like it - edit: ok on closer inspection it fails upon loading the drivers, so it is vista, and not defender).

    bit disappointing this release really....

    No, one build since RC1, but 128 higher build number. And the build number I believe is computer generated and doesn't per se mean a lot was fixed. In fact, this build is a minor update from 5600. Don't expect the sidebar to be fixed at all come RTM... especially since RTM is expected for next month. This is quite possibly the last pre-RTM build.
