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.

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

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!

Microsoft to release IE8 RC1 next week
Microsoft is currently readying the release of Internet Explorer 8 RC1 for early next week, company sources indicate. In a blog posting by
Microsoft's Frank Olivier, the UX and Compatibility program manager confirms "we're about to release" IE8 RC1. Insiders indicate it might be
worth penning Monday 26th January in your calendar as the date for IE8 RC1. IE8 RC1 will not install on the current Windows 7 beta build (7000) and
it's rumored that Microsoft could be readying some new beta bits for connect testers in the coming weeks. The RC1 build will initially be offered
to Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems.

pre-release, there is an evaluation period. If you install the service pack, it will expire after June 30th, 2008. However, the final version of
Service Pack 1 is expected to be released in January.
Note: If you are running a 64-Bit edition of Windows Vista, the service
pack can only be downloaded from Windows Update.

Windows Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V Beta Build Clarification
Just a quick note to anyone that plans on testing the new Windows Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V Beta. The build Microsoft posted here is in
fact a much newer build than either the original Server 2008 RC1 or Vista SP1 RC1. While the original RC1 was Build 6001.17051 for Server 2008 and
6001.17052 for Vista SP1, the new Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V beta is substantially newer at 6001.17119 and may even contain further
stability/performance improvements to the actual OS so it may be worth checking it out even if you don't intend to test the Hyper-V bits. Also note
that due to Hyper-V being a 64-Bit OS only option, there is no 32-Bit build available of the newer Server 2008 RC1.

Rumored New Vista plans
Paul Thurrott is launching an
interesting rumor today, this
time about Windows Vista's
release date. According to
him, the RC1 version of Vista
would be released in early
september, as opposite to
other rumors which said RC1
was around the corner and was
due anytime soon. RC1 would be
in this case, build 5520,
which has been placed into
escrow recently.
The most interesting rumor
he reports is about Windows
Vista RTM, which is set to be
escrowed in september, setting
at the same time an RTM
release on October 25.

Windows Vista RC1 Is Complete
According to the official
Windows Vista Team Blog,

Co-President Jim Allchin has

stating that RC1 is complete.
As per usual, the Windows
Vista team are initially
rolling out the code to the
TechBeta and TAP programs
alone, while MSDN and TechNet
subscribers will be offered
access next week.
Jim Allchin states that some
UI adjustments have been made
to RC1, as well as additional
device drivers, and enhanced
performance.

Windows Vista RC1 Download
Page Discovered
Only hours after Microsoft
released Windows Vista build
5536 to the public, their RC1
download page has been
discovered. The RC1 build,
which was, according to Paul
Thurrott, finalized yesterday,
is most likely
not there
yet, and since the download
ISO is approximately 3.12 GB,
it appears to be the Beta 2
version.
The page
is about the same as the
pre-RC1 download page but
removes the references to the
100000 copies limit, and, of
course, replaces the pre-RC1
terms for RC1.
Microsoft is expected to
make Windows Vista's first
Release Candidate available
broadly in early september,
and is already preparing it,
just after releasing its
preview build.
Thanks to Nem
for the heads
up!
