fletch33 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 i am very satisfied with RC1. i realize that there will be some improvements but i dont plan to ever go back to XP and RC1 is much better than any of the previous beta's. speed and reliability is excellent. i have not had a single problem and almost all the software i need has worked.i found this list helpful even though it is a little dated.

boooggy Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 i think is not worth it....vista rc1 is a bloated os....and still with lots of bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBHoenig Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I personally liked 5536 a lot, and now I'm running RC1 as of just yesterday and it is even better Give it a shot, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODC Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I'm running RC1 and absolutely love it. I'm running a 2.8 Northwood with 1GB DDR and a ATI9800Pro and the speed is superb.Things I don't like so far: I had problems with IE7 displaying overlapping text while scrolling, but I am a Firefox user anyway, and only used IE7 to download FF. I also don't like the redundant security dialog boxes. A dialog will pop up stating that an executable is being blocked, then another dialog box will pop up asking how to deal with the problem, and a third box will pop up asking for the Admin password. Ugh. These kinds of alerts really need to be consolidated into a single dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbbarker Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) Beta 2 key does work. 5384 was OK. RC1 should be much better. Downloaded and upgraded in less than 4 hours. Edited September 11, 2006 by jbbarker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizban2 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 hey there, I just got Windows Vista RC1 and I'm wondering if it's worth to install it, if I'll be able to use my full internet speed, watch videos and do my 3D workwhat you guys say?everyone should install vista weither it works or not. the more poeple who install it and find problems and report them (yes report them!! and to MS not just a forums someplace) the better chance we get of having those bugs taken care of by the time RTM happens.

JakeY Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Running pre release Windows versions is like going on a pub crawl with your mates. You know you are in for grief. RC1 is a whole lot better than Beta 2 as far as reliability is concerned, but I wouldn't use it for doing any important work on . If you have any out of the ordinary or later type devices , don't expect driver support either. For general non critical usage its seems fine, although I have encountered a few IE glitches so far.Take the plunge and blast into MS oblivion.
