Microsoft will release just one more build of Windows Vista for testing before the code goes gold, said Brad Goldberg, the general manager for the Windows client business group. That build will be made available to a limited group of between 50000 and 100000 testers in October, and follows the interim Vista build that Microsoft released on Sept. 22. Elsewhere, people noticed that Java applications use the standard (effect-less) Aero interface, instead of the finacy shiny bling-bling Aero Glass.

Only 1 more build? I guess that means no interface upgrades or significant performance fixes.
MS is really pushing this too soon, RC1 wasnt on pair with Whistler beta 2 in terms of usability and stability. If they release it like this there will be alot of problems mainly due to bad press.
This can lead to part of loyal Windows users thinking about different platforms.
The sad thing is that MS never worked on performance upgrades through Service Packs so we really can't expect Vista to be any faster in future....and that is truly bad.
