Public Vista build for x64
I think it was RC1 that I downloaded recently to update Beta 2 :-)
I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft.com and burnt it to DVD. I decided to reinstall rather than upgrade my Beta 2 x64 install.
The installation process went very well. It improved a lot since Beta 2, it was much faster to install.
The feel of this build is good. It's far more responsive, performance seems to have increased quite a lot since Beta 2. I had no stability problems. With Beta 2 I had lots of DNS issues, these have gone away with the new build. It seems better at hardware detection and found my graphics card without problem.
I'm far more impressed with x64 Vista than I was with Beta 2 but it's still not as fast or smooth as my WinXP 32-bit install on the same machine. My personal favourite MS OS is still WinXP Pro 64-bit.
