Vista RC1 5728 Released into the wild
Microsoft released another version of Vista, 5728, to the public preview.
Install goes well, faster by about 10 mins, and more polished. I start by doing an upgrade, but then reconsider and do a full reinstall. Installer makes a backup copy of Windows in Windows.old, and then does install.
After install complete, system seems snappier, more responsive than RC1. Mem footprint after login at keyboard is around 350MB/40 processes, without x360 connected.
With x360 jacked in via Media Center, resources jumps to about 500MB, with eShell.dll eating up about 80% CPU while streaming live HDTV from USB tuner. 80%? All the laptop has to do is forward the stream to the x360, so why the jumping between 60-80% ?
I'll have to try streaming a WMV and see what the CPU usage is like then.
