Vista RC2 this Friday in Vista News & Vista Styles

Microsoft this Friday will ship the final pre-release version of Windows Vista and, unexpectedly, will name the release as Release Candidate 2 (RC2). Previously, Microsoft had publicly asserted that it would not ship an RC2 milestone release of Windows Vista. But don’t let the name fool you: RC2 is really just a standard interim build of Vista and will not be given out to millions of users as was RC1.

The RC2 build is 5743, and Microsoft is currently testing it internally. As with the previous interim build, 5728, RC2 will be given out to beta testers, MSDN and TechNet subscribers, and a random, limited selection of Consumer Preview Program (CPP) members.

I’m confused as to what these builds contain. is it just changes to the explorer or are they changing core internal working of the kernel? I just can tell :(

RC2 will be just a small version up. I use RC1 5536, downloading 5600…. I see 57.. version on the net, but next day i don’t see that and link direct me to main vista website in which you can download only 5600. Probably also RC2 will be not public, i mean it goes to beta testers and people like that.
