Keith Combs is reporting that images of Windows Vista with SP1 already baked in are appearing on MSDN TechNet subscriber downloads. Only the English, French, German, Japanese & Spanish x86 versions are available thus far. Maybe they are still updating and the x64 versions will start appearing later.

Keith is clearly ecstatic: "My download took minutes. Being first helps. It flew down the fiber pipe to my house at 1.8meg per second. I wish all my downloads were that fast. Your mileage will vary. I'm planning on "enhancing" my VM first thing. I'm going to enable IIS7, then drop PHP, MySQL and Wordpress on it. When I get it working, I am going to do a screencast on the process. Getting ready to record how to do that with Windows Server 2008 in a few minutes. Enjoy!"

He also mentions that the blog post is a rolling update, later he will post some more screencasts of the resulting installation.

Don't freaking cross me! Microsoft wants to "get the appropriate economic return for our shareholders from our innovation," A few of my more memorable quotes: "I think it would be absolutely reckless and irresponsible for anyone to try and break up Microsoft." "There's no substitute for innovation, of course, but innovation is no substitute for being in touch, either." "What we've gone through in the last several years has caused some people to question 'Can we trust Microsoft?" "I like to tell people that all of our products and business will go through three phases. There's vision, patience, and execution." "Google is an illusion" "I don't know what a monopoly is until somebody tells me." "We don't have a monopoly. We have market share. There's a difference."

Vista SP1 RC1 on the Streets - Happy Now?
Alright already, We have put out a release candidate for the Vista Service Pack 1!

Now let's see what the critics say!
I was getting pretty sick of them beating the old "Wait for SP1" drum. Soooo here ya go!

Download it here.

Some site named "Gizmodo" has already speed tested it vs Vista and XP on a dual quad-core Penryn HP xw8600 PC with workstation-class NVidia Quadro FX 4600 graphics, all eight processor cores running at 3.16GHz, a 15,000rpm SAS hard drive and 4GB of RAM. This machine is well within specs for Vista.
The **results speak for themselves:

Now! For goodness sake let the buying begin!
**Results only apply to Vista Ultimate run on any dual quad-core Penryn HP xw8600 PC with NVidia Quadro FX 4600, eight 3.16 ghz processor cores, 15,000rpm hd and 4GB of RAM - performance may degrade from there.

steve, i can confirm that vista sp1 will run on several raided 10k rpm sas drives without said degradation, though you will always get stable performance in vista by spending thousands and thousands of dollars (euros, pounds, pesos, etc) for a "vista ready" machine. by the way, loved your comments re "vista capable" system buyers

LOL... understandable. I actually have the RTM .exe but can't get it to install. :rofl_mini:

It errors out despite having prerequisite updates from the previous RC. Guess I'll have to wait for WU. Grrr... grrrr!
