I am sorry we are a bit late but I for one have been relatively busy lately, but don’t let that make it any less of a momentous occasion because Windows Vista RC1 is available to public download!
Yep, today’s the day you can go download vista and have your very own influence in the next upcoming Operating system from Microsoft.
You can find the download Here at http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/rc1/en/download.htmÂ
Make Patrick E (MSBLOG’s very own Test Engineer on the Vista team) work his butt off 😉

Please also remember to send in error reporting data (via the dialog that pops up after any crash or hang) — we are tracking all of this data and by doing that you really have a big impact on the product as a whole. Thanks again for your feedback you have all given thus far. 🙂 -Patrick
