Windows Microsoft's Windows Vista RC 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 partners, on September 1. Microsoft is planning to broaden the beta to include up to six million participants, total, some time next week, according to industry sources. Cnet has a video introduction to Vista RC1. Elsewhere, people are going bonkers over Vista's... Start up sound. Major Tom to ground control?

DVD+RW. You know, those reusable DVDs that you put pre-releases on that you can wipe off later (because no-one sane keeps alphas/betas/RC's on DVD-R's and archives them surely?).

Maybe someone else have had success with it, but I tried it once when out of -Rs and it led to a spectacular installer crash.

Thus I stick to DVD-Rs to avoid that happening again. :-)
