Microsoft confirms Vista RC1 on its way

Anyone who was part of beta 2 (the public beta) you will be given the chance to get Vista RC1, and the release will be available to everyone who missed beta 2 also.[Via BetaNews]

Just because they choose to release and RC1 on time does not mean that they will RTM Windows Vista at the end of October. This really changes nothing. Finally, I've seen a lot of improvement with Windows Vista. It's now a lot faster everywhere including the install. I got a 20 minute install of build 5472 compared with a 45 minute install of Beta 2. If that's not progress, I don't know what is.
