Dear Windows Me Testers,
We are proud to be releasing the Windows Millennium Edition RC-1 to the web
site and FTP server for download.
This is the same build (2525.6), as the build posted last Wednesday evening
as the weekly release.
Our testers completed our full test pass on this build and have determined
this build to be our first Release Candidate.
For those who already downloaded the build, please continue testing the
release as the RC-1.
For the rest of the team, 2525.6 is available for download at
http://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxxx/xxxxxxxx & ftp://xxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx
We would like to stress that we want to hear from each and every one of
you - if you have a great experience, let us know. If you hit something that
you think is a bug, file a bug report. We have hundreds of Microsoft testers
and thousands of beta sites so far telling us we're ready to go, we want to
get a great understanding of your experience to really augment that
confidence level into the stratosphere.
We are down to our last issues reported by our end-user and OEM beta sites.
We are very proud of this version and expect you to be very happy with it;
but like we said - we want to hear about your experience straight from you!
We'll be spinning out final Release Candidate builds fast and furious to
provide you with the most up-to-date builds with fixed issues - do not be
surprised if you see multiple RCs in a week instead of the regular build
once a week. We cannot emphasize enough how vital you are to our success.
You help reinforce the structure of our product on the backend, while being
our greatest supporters to friends and family that look to you for
assistance and advice on technical issues.
At this final stage before product release, we are looking for serious bugs
that affect your system's performance or stability, or any major regressions
from prior releases. Clear bug reporting is vital at this stage, as time is
of the essence. Anything that prevents you from installing, upgrading or
using the product in day-to-day use should be bugged immediately. Try out
all your favorite applications, games, hardware, try a digital camera, setup
a home network with our new home networking wizard, try out system restore,
and Windows Movie Maker! To clarify further based on some recent reports and
questions: we are past requests for more third party drivers, we are past
new feature requests, we are past cosmetic issues like picking Tahoma
instead of Times New Roman on some screens. the world is clamoring for the
product, let us know the crucial stuff so we can ship a great product in
time for this holiday season!

Sólo por curiosidad mística... Upgrade desde win 3.x no se considera?... O
es impensable a estas alturas?

Nop , ya no tengo VTR (solo me quede con una linda 3com cable modem)
Ahora solo bajo a traves de Chilesat y Telefonica (cuando no engancho con
CS)... a solo 56 Kbps...
Espero el desarrollo del CableModem por parte de MI , para volver a aquellos
buenos tiempos de
Download :_) Snif!

No es impensable, para nada.
Un ejemplo grande. Toda la plataforma del Banco de Chile esta hecho
en Win 3.11 for workgroup. Y funciona bien y estable.
