Windows RC 1 is "ready" (or maybe not as Mr Blue Screen is telling me...)
Well, a week after downloading Build 5600 of Windows Vista RC1 I finally got the obligatory "it's ready" email from Microsoft... only it appears just a bit more testing may have been useful because, you see, it just seems far too easy to crash...
Thing is I really wanted to test our company's software against the new logged-into-a-domain-capable Fast User Switching, but I can't. That thing which is more of a fact of life than the fact that one day we will all die, namely Mr Blue Screen of Death reared its ugly head - and yes my computer floundered on its back, wiggled its toes in the air and collapsed in a puddle of odd looking core dump messages.
Is it too much to ask that I should be able to log in with just two users, and swap between them just four times without losing all my open and currently unsaved data in Vista because Mr Blue Screen has decided to intervene?
I know this is "only" RC 1, but I thought such to be a statement of quality - "we believe that this product is spiffingly tippity-top and we're going for a build that /may/ be suitable for release" or some such.
I look forward to RC 2 - may it last more than 30 minutes before it Blue Screens (will that be a record?) Only thing is according to the email RC 1 is "The final pre-release of Windows Vista..."
*flurble*
