Release
This build is not only the offical RC2 build of Windows Vista.
Fixes
If you install this build in VMware, you can enable aero (for Home Premium, Business and Ultimate, for Home Basic only the non-transparant aero is enabled), Starter does not support it. Follow these steps to enable it: Set Composition Policy in the Registry: Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM and set CompositionPolicy to 2. Install the VMware Video Drivers: Get the Windows WDDM Driver for VMware Workstation from the download page here and install the WDDM Driver Package for the correct architecture.
