Yep, you read it right! Despite many websites and bloggers calling, dare I say, begging for beta 3, Vista is now moving to the RC1 branch. Microsoft did not change their roadmap, so beta2 will effectively be followed by RC1.
Last Friday, MS made a new branch for the RC1 milestone, known as "vista_rc1" (not very original :-p ), and began with build 5504.16385.vista_rc1.
Rumor has it that by the end of August, RC1 should be upon us, and another CTP can be expected between now and RC1.
Some new icons are also moved into this build, as well as a new weather gadget.
