I was one of the lucky 100,000 to grab this latest build of Windows Vista.

It was a limited release so they could test it on a small scale.

Its about 25 Days newer than RC1.

I wanted to see if they have fixed a power management bug that crashed my Vista install when going from Mains power to battery on my laptop.

Thankfully they have. Well Done.

Being brave I chose to upgrade My RC1 5600 build to RC1 build 5728 as opposed to doing a fresh install. I wanted to chance the upgrade due to the install time associated with Office 2007 and then the Office 2007 Technical refresh a 900mb install.

So I gambled and won. The upgrade took 1 hour from start to finish and passed without incident.
