Windows Vista SP1 RC Available for Public Download - Vista Sense - About Windows Vista

Microsoft on December 12 said that the Windows Vista SP1 has reached the RC (Release Candidate) state and now every one can download and test it. You can even contribute to improve windows vista by giving valuable feedback to MS.

MS official blog says, SP1 RC is time-limited software and it will not work after June 30, 2008. I guess by that time MS will release the final or better version of SP1.

Microsoft recommends these steps before installing Windows Vista SP1 RC:

• If you have a prior version of SP1 Beta installed, you must uninstall it prior to installing RC.
• This is pre-release code and will change before the final release.
• This pre-release software is provided for testing purposes only. Microsoft does not recommend installing this software on primary or mission-critical systems.
• Microsoft recommends that you backup your data prior to installing any pre-release software.
• Windows Vista SP1 Release Candidate is time-limited software. It will no longer operate after June 30, 2008 and should be uninstalled prior to that date.
• Support is through self-help and peer support via the Windows Vista SP1 forum. Assisted support (phone, email and online chat) is not available from Microsoft Support for this RC release of SP1.
• If you install the Service Pack 1 Release Candidate, it is strongly recommended that you also plan to install the final version of Windows Vista SP1 when it is released in the first quarter of 2008. To do this, you will be required to uninstall this pre-release code.
• You must have a genuine copy of Windows Vista installed on the computer prior to installing the Windows Vista SP1 update.
