Microsoft's Windows Vista RC (Release Candidate) 1 is done. Now it's up to the estimated 6 million testers to which the company is planning to release the code to determine if it really is ready for prime time.

Microsoft has posted the RC 1 build, Number 5600, on its TechBeta Web sites for select technical beta testers, including TAP (Technology Adoption Program) partners, on September 1.

eWEEK.com Special Report: Windows Vista: Microsoft's Longhorn Client

Microsoft is planning to broaden the beta to include up to six million participants, total, some time next week, according to industry sources.

Vista Beta 2 went to more than two million testers. Microsoft officials, contacted on September 1, declined to confirm the six million figure.

RC1 is expected by testers to bear a strong resemblance to Vista Build 5536, the pre-RC-1 build that Microsoft distributed to testers one week ago.
 
I downloaded Vista RC1 5600 from microsoft and installed on my pc. At the beginning, my internet connection and sound card failed to work on vista then I tried and find out the solution . I downloaded beta drivers for vista and the problems was solved. now vista works fine :) I like new GUI ,too.

One weird thing is that vista 'consumes' 400 MB of Ram :werd:
