Well back about 6 months ago when I tried Vista, and it sucked… The RC1 came out… and I’m quite impressed Auto detected video card drivers, LAN, and SATA. Looks very nice, Relatively quick, and I haven’t seen any conflict installing programs at all… The effects are nice… and the REAL transparency is AWESOME there are a few annoying things. the constant asking if i want to install something is lame, but after everything is installed I won’t see it again. anyone else have an opinion of it? or have noticed anything they don’t like… or do like? ---

have they given the public a release yet? i was going to bootleg the last build before RC1, but now ive decided to wait until its public so i dont need to deal with so many bugs. ---

I don’t have RC1, i still have beta 2 - I’m not a CPP participant I don’t think so not sure how I can get a hold of it… what you are describing about it asking if it wants to install something is UAC (user access control) and it can be disabled, which is the first step on a vista installation IMO. Google “Disabling UAC” and you will be good to go, should be easy to find. ---

You need to slipstream the drivers yourself. It’s kind of a pain in the ass. Should be ok otherwise. RC1 is WAAAAY better than previous builds. It really shows that at least SOMEONE at m$ is trying to make a quality product. The new Aero theme is nifty but you better have at LEAST 1GB of ram for this thing. It’s hungry. I wouldn’t really recommend it as a sole OS at this point. You could, but not everything is compatible at this point. Using it on a separate partition is ok though. Also, I’ve been hearing that the x64 version is a HUGE pain in the ass because of the drivers. I haven’t tried it yet though, I’m still using x86. ---
