Hands On: Windows Vista Release Candidate 2

The changes in Windows Vista Release Candidate 2 amount to refinements rather than significant innovations. Build 5744 of Vista contains no laundry list of new features and functions, but the release is significant nonetheless.

The new Media Center improves on its predecessor's ease of installation and performance, and reduces its bugginess. The new Sleep power management mode is another welcome enhancement. Vista continues to be exceptionally stable. There's no question that this new Windows is more reliable than XP.
