</b></center>





Windows Vista RC2 5744 has been released!!! Note: The list for previous Vista builds will remain stickied for reference.

We are making a break from the "old mold" and moving toward a more well defined model here with RC2 as it pertains to reporting working programs and such; based on the huge demand, we are categorizing instead of trying to manage one huge list.

Works Windows Vista RC2 x86

MultiMedia Programs

That is just a few, I know Alcohol 120% has not worked in the passed with any other builds but it works great withy RC2. I'am glad, because it is a great burning program.
