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?

Am i the only one whos PC doesn't beep on startup, my PC is silent until vista makes its startup sound when its ready
which just as a note to the idiot saying it takes 44 minutes, shut the heck up it takes my pc 31 seconds from power to login prompt and 11 seconds to load desktop 100% loaded and usable
5536 was an awesome build, i wonder how much they managed to shove into 5600 ... since it was indeed on a seperate build branch it might have a good deal of work done ahead of 5536
