Windows Vista RC1 impresses critics

Testers of Windows Vista Release Candidate one report that the operating system is more stable than expected.

LeBlanc, a writer for LonghornBlogs, said Microsofts performance and stabilisation tweaks  made Vista solid enough for regular use.

LeBlanc said Vista is so far along in RC1, he does not think another release candidate will be required before final changes are made and the OS is sent off for manufacturing. The previous major client release of Windows, Windows XP, had two release candidates before it shipped to manufacturers.
