ya not much visual changes ..only few.. icons have been changed..but there are some other changes...like..windows live messenger.(download ).has been integrated..and all...and there are less..driver problems...
the vista pre-rc 1 ..boots..up pretty fast. 40-45 secs...and is 3 times faster ..than the...beta 2.. !!
also i found that the installation time...has been drastically reduced...it took almost 40. mins.. for total installation..thts all...and i think..ppl havin conroe..and lotta ram will finish..the installation in 20 minzz flat !!

i too was going..to wait..till the public release..but now a days i feel that microsoft ..is not releasing any of the build to public..the last was 5384..after which 3 more builds came..like the 54546,,5472 and 5536 (pre-RC1) ...
so i tht why not request my bro to send a dvd. .he lives in US..and works for billy ...so he got 3-4 dvds..from microsoft..and shipped me one..
