Oliver Rist spent the last few days sailing Windows Vista RC1 through the rocks of software incompatibility and the hard places of hardware support. His take-away:
"If there's one immediate use we can think of for Vista RC1, it's setting up learning machines for the power users in your organization so you can begin the training process now. Overall, we did find it to be far more polished and reliable than even the latest beta build. As new Vista-compatible software arrives from third-party ISVs, RC1 is definitely the OS we'd use for testing. This version is close enough that we feel a release date of January 2007 is not only possible, but likely. Use RC1 to get ready."
