Windows Vista SP1 RC2 = RTM bits

Windows Vista SP1 RC2 = RTM bits
If you are planning the deployment of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 in your organisation or at home, here is a tip I got from a conference call with the Windows Vista team in Redmond: the last Windows Vista SP1 RC2 (build 1800) released to beta testers contains the same bits as the Windows Vista SP1 RTM announced a couple of days ago.

It means that for all of you out there planning compatibility tests, migration, etc you can safely use the RC2 as a base platform for testing.





Bringing Vista Features to Windows Server 2008
Ok, dont ask me why and for what I am brining Vista Features to Windows Server 2008 Tongue out

The Vista Features includes things like,

1) Windows Media Player
2) Windows Flip 3D
3) Windows Aero Theme
4) Windows Mail
5) etc.,

By default this is not installed in Windows Server. To enable them, you need to add the Desktop Experience Feature from the Add Features wizard.
