Vista February CTP, Complete?
In early December of 2005,
Microsoft had announced that
they were to ship a
code-complete version of
Windows Vista internally by
the end of 2005 to prepare for
a CTP of the code-complete
build to be issued to testers.
However this never happened.
Microsoft now plans to have an
internal build of the
code-complete Vista by early
February.
However, the next CTP, due
out on February 17th,
apparently predates the
code-complete version;
therefore, the February CTP
might not in fact be the
code-complete build.
Currently, Microsoft
is internally testing build
5293 of Vista, which means the
February CTP build might be
within the 5300 range.

27.09.2007Clarity on Windows Vista
Milestones
In the ever-changing release
schedule for Windows Vista,
nothing stays constant. But
according to internal
Microsoft documentation, the
following dates are correct
for the next several major
milestones in the
product.
Currently, Microsoft plans
to ship the feature-complete
internal build on January 31,
2006, and then ship a
near-feature-complete
Community Technology Preview
(CTP) build to testers on
February 17. (To date, more
than 50 product teams have
submitted code for the
feature-complete builds.)
Windows Vista Beta 2 is due on
April 12, followed by a
release candidate (RC) build
in July and release to
manufacturing (RTM) in August.
Assuming this last date is
met, the general release of
the product will occur in
October.

25.10.2007Microsoft Releases IE8 RC1
Earlier today, Microsoft released their near feature-complete "RC1" version of Internet Explorer 8.
Available in 25 different languages
for Windows Vista, XP, and Windows Server 2003/2008, it's
available for download right
now.
According to Microsoft's IE8 team, the browser is "effectively complete and done." Most of the kinks visible in previous betas
have been ironed out; their intent with this beta is to gather feedback about critical issues that seriously impede functionality.
Security issues such as the recent
"Clickjacking" one have been
solved. Sites can protect themselves "out of the box".
They've targeted both technology enthusiasts and the hundreds of millions of
"real users" who use Internet Explorer. From the feedback, they really feel that IE8 is ready to go. That however, is for the users to decide, and
that includes you.
To begin testing of this RC release, a few prerequisites are required:
Firstly, if you are one of the
many people testing any of the Windows 7 Betas, the version available for download will NOT work. It will be available as an update at a later date.
If you don't fall under this category, then the following prerequisites may be applicable to your install of Windows:

05.10.2006Whats new with backup and Restore on Vista SP1
Christine Fok: Vista SP1 Backup & Restore contains many updates that improve reliability. Great effort has been put into improving the overall quality
of File Backup, Complete PC Backup and System Restore.
Many of those important changes may not be visible to users, but if you
run Backup and Restore tools, you can see some functionality improvements that many users had asked for:
Backing-up EFS
files
File Backup now backs up EFS (Encrypting File System) encrypted files. For those concerned with security, the encryption on
those files are kept throughout the process. So dont worry, you wont compromise your documents security by using our Vista SP1 backup tool.
Restoring Complete PC to a new motherboard
With SP1, you can use Complete PC Restore to a new motherboard that uses
previously absent disk controller. That means, if the new hardware requires an inbox driver that was previously disabled when the Complete PC backup
was taken, the required critical driver will be enabled in the last stage of the restore to ensure the machine will be bootable.
OTS credentials for scheduling Backup
In Vista (pre-SP1), only someone logged in as administrator could configure backup.
Now, its possible for standard users to configure a backup. When scheduling a backup, standard users will be asked to supply administrator
credentials. That is what we call over-the-shoulder (OTS) credentials. That is because¦ well, if the user doesnt know the credentials, the
administrator usually type it over the users shoulder :-)

customers and partners better understand the technologies used by product activation for editions distributed through retail, original equipment
manufacturer, and volume licensing channels. Also discussed is how the hardware hash component of the installation ID is created and the scenarios in

07.11.2007Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download
If you're like most PC users, you got Windows Vista with a new PC or laptop. And if you're like 99% of the population, you get your new machine
from one of the major manufacturers. Dell, Acer, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, all have one thing in common: they don't give you a real Windows Vista
installation disc with your purchase. Instead, they bundle what they call a "recovery disc" (that's if you're lucky - otherwise you'll have a
recovery partition instead).
It doesn't matter that you just paid a thousand dollars for a machine that comes with a
valid Windows Vista license - they just don't want to spend the money (or perhaps take on the responsibility) of giving you a Windows Vista
installation DVD to accompany your expensive purchase.

Microsoft has released a standalone installer for Windows Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 today. The software giant posted some things to know
about the service packs last month, one of the warnings is if "vLite" was used to customize your Windows Vista installation, you may have removed
required system components which prevent Service Pack 2 from installing. Microsoft has a workaround for this issue. Microsoft is expected to post the
bits to Windows Update in the coming weeks but if you are eager to install SP2 today then the download links are listed below. Download: Vista

07.09.2006Vista Transformation Pack 9
An anxious crowd of VTP users hoping to get their hands on the next version of VTP has had their prayers answered today.
VTP9 has
officially been released. Back, and better than ever, VTP9 is sure to be an eye-popper, even for those who have already been using VTP for years.
Some of the new features include:
- New Lightweight "Vista Rainbar" (A sidebar based on the Rainmeter API)
- Improved
versions of the highly acclaimed ViStart and ViOrb pair
- A more stable version of TrueTransparency (for emulating the transparent 'glass' we
all like in Vista
- 'Visplore,' a new file explorer that has a glass toolbar and built-in search
- Much, much more...
Perhaps some of the best improvements are a supposedly completely stable x64 installer, Windows XP SP3 compatibility and complete install
customization right in the installer.
Without further ado, JCXP presents you with Version 9 of Vista Transformation Pack!
