Nah – he changed the times on the post – there was nothing on WinInfo or WinSupersite at midday – I checked myself.

Hmm, Actually Paul Thurrott’s WinInfo was the first to break the Vista Gold News, you see After he posted it I checked all the major tech news sources including this blog, Paul was first with the news of Vista RTM (11:00am PST yesterday).

[...] Rumors last Friday indicated that Microsoft had achieved RTM status for Windows Vista, this has been confirmed today by many sources, this is good news in many ways and for some it may be bad. Trying to be optimistic it’s my opinion that people have been a bit too hard on it, since MS has had several delays with the product and what not but this is something totally natural when a company is in the development cycle for a product. The MS staff over at channel 9 have a video where they talk with Jim Allchin co-president of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services Division, where he demos some of the features of Vista and talks about some features which we knew about already and what it’s some of the vision behind the Vista experience.One of the interesting parts of the video for me was the part of the new set of group policies available to Vista, for example no longer will big corporations be afraid of employees walking away with sensitive company data their memory keys, as via group policy you can now prevent what type exactly of removable storage should the user be able to use and not.Another feature of Vista which has me really excited and is talked about in the video is the one of ReadyBoost, that will allow you to dynamically and dramatically change and improve your available page file memory in Windows by just inserting a memory key, for more of this you can read this excelent ReadyBoost Q&A from Tom Archer a product manager for Microsoft, ArsTecnica also has a quick article up about this technology and a couple of quick Google searches will spring up some interesting bits of information.The final build number being build 6000.16386 (061101-2205) as reported by MSBlog Posted by Antonio on Nov 08 2006 under Tech Industry | | [...]

Well OK… I presume you’ve read that on Paul Thurrott’s site as he says exactly the same thing… but I’m being stubborn and not changing it for the time being – he’s been wrong too many times, my “sources” remain defiant over him – as far as I know, Vista R2 is Fiji and Vienna is the next OS from Microsoft after Vista Thanks for commenting though Andre.

Fiji is actually Vista SP1, R2 is actually Vienna. The days of big bang release are over Zack.
