Images: A view of Microsoft Vista

The release of Windows Vista RTM does not mean that Microsoft is finished--far from it. In fact, it will continue to work on Windows Vista code up until the business release on November 30, as well as the retail release, slated for some time in late January 2007. During the installation process, Microsoft has included the ability to download last-minute patches and updates to the Windows Vista software. That said, we find the current Windows Vista RTM build to be stable, and we look forward to reviewing the final release.
