Vista RC2
Well, RC2 is going to be released.
Originally, there wasn’t going to be an RC2, it was going to be RC1, a few interim builds, then RTM.
Then RC2 wasn’t going to be released to CPP.
Now the RC2 CPP site is leaked, but not active.
Apparently, RC2 isn’t ‘actually an RC, its just another interim build’. I don’t know who or what to believe on the matter now.
Some of the expected updates in this build include:
- new sounds (RC1/5728 had mostly Windows XP sounds)
- Updates to Aero (they are removing the ‘black’ from alternative colours, because people complained it was too dark)
- erm..
I don’t know what else they can include, I guess general performance increases, but mostly that’d be to do with drivers…so they could be in trouble.
We’ll see soon enough I guess
Update: Looks like the changes have gone through, which a screenshot from ShellRevealed (see below). Frankly, its a welcome change. Previously, although you could customise the colours at certain times, maximising a window would result in ‘black’ appearing (akin to the Graphite theme below).
There was little/no point being able to customise it, if it went black when the window was maximised!
