Friendly neighbourhood Lifehacker.com has the screenshots of the latest RC1 (Release Candidate 1). If it is a release candidate, then it means a release with most of the bugs fixed. Very nice.

Even though I know it’s for n00bs, I dig the Welcome screen. Or maybe it’s just Vista’s overall look and feel that had me at hello. It’s not quite as toy-ish as OS X, but it’s still shiny and sleek. A bit more (dare I utter the words, my beloved Mac?) grown-up.
Check out some of the screenshots of the parental controls on Vista. Wow. Kids are going to have a tough time playing around on their home computer. Holy Cow !

Lots and lots of eyecandy. Enjoy !
