OK, so I've been getting RC1-related questions a lot, both via blog comments and directly over email: Will Microsoft open testing sign-ups again when RC1 is released?
Yes.
Will the Customer Preview Program be available for those who missed out on Beta 2 to sign up and get RC1?
Yes.
If I participated in Beta 2 by downloading a PID and the build, will I be able to participate in RC1 automatically?
Yes.
I know you're excited. So am I -- and I'm using a newer build (5505) ! More news when it's available.
Yes.

hab ich gerade auf Windows Vista Team Blog gelesen.
Ich freue mich schon drauf das wird ja dann eine lang Nacht. Laut Paul Thurrott, soll es die build 5568.16384 werden als RC1.
RC1 soll wohl doch die Build 5552 werden.

An often irreverent look at some of the week's other news

Vista and Office 2007: On the Road to RTM
There's been some weird conjecture and misinformation about the build numbers for Windows Vista this week. Seeing as I'm curiously the de facto outlet of information along these lines, I thought I'd clear things up. Build 5536 is now the Release Candidate 1 (RC1) "escrow" build, a version of Vista that Microsoft will ship to testers by this weekend if everything goes well. Build 5552 is the new RC1 build and should be available in early September. (In reality, RC1 will almost certainly be a later iteration of that build or a completely new build.) Meanwhile, Microsoft has also branched the Vista build tree for release to manufacturing (RTM): The current build number for RTM is 5709, but that will be incremented regularly going forward. Put simply, any Vista 57xx builds you see are on the RTM tree. (And you might logically expect that the final version will be manually changed to build 6000 because Vista is Windows 6.0.) The situation is similar for the 2007 Microsoft Office system: Microsoft plans to ship a Technical Refresh of Office 2007 any day now, and the current build number is 4407.1003. If you see Office 2007 builds in the 4409 range or higher, they're in the RTM tree. There's been a lot of speculation about whether Vista (and to a lesser extent, Office) will be ready for RTM by October. But talking heads aside, Microsoft's internal build-number schemes say it all: Both products are barreling toward completion in October, whether you're ready or not. It's time to start researching Core 2 Duo-based PCs, methinks.
