Vista enters home stretch with RC2 release
eWeek | at | by Mike
The long and oft-delayed journey toward the release of Windows Vista entered the home stretch Oct. 6 when Microsoft released what is likely the final test build, Release Candidate 2.
"Microsoft expects the RC2 build to be the last interim release before the product is released to manufacturing. As we stated from the beginning of Windows Vista development, the quality of the product will always be our first priority. That said, Microsoft continues to target Windows Vista availability for volume license customers in November 2006 and general availability in January 2007, although the final delivery will be based on quality," a spokesperson told eWEEK.
