Vista RC1 and Ready to Go
My friend Shawn says, "Yes, I said upgrading XP! The good news is that is build is very very good. Not perfect, but very good! I am able to use it as my main box" about Pre-RC Build 5536. I agree 1000%. Since my install a few days ago, I have been blown away at both the performance (yes, I said performance!) and stability of this build. And it's stunningly beautiful! It almost seems like a new OS. Boy is it good and RC is just around the corner! It's out!
Progress
- Windows Live components available from Welcome Page and all installed flawlessly including this Windows Live Writer and Windows Live Mail Desktop
- Many of Scott's Tool List installed flawlessly
- Small problem installing RC of .NET FW 3 Windows SDK. Install program from root of directory will not run, even as Administrator, was able to go down to setup subdirectory and run SDKSetup.exe
- Visual Studio 2005 installed and working, SQL Server 2005 Standard in progress
- SQL Server Reporting Services will not install on Vista (Microsoft confirms). Thinks there is no IIS even when there is
- TFS will not install because VSS 2 install blocked
- Vista RC now out! I have upgraded to that and it is now my main desktop
- Microsoft Virtual CD and Daemon Tools both don't work for mounting the Vista RC ISO but MagicISO does
