Vista Tutorial - RC1 or RC2 iso?

10-08-2006

RC2 is technically a second interim build. If you'll recall MS said they
would not release an RC2, but then later changed those plans and probably
took some of the programmers by surprise.

dxdiag shows it as build 5744.

5744 is a edw interim build off of the RTM branch. I don't know how an RC2
label ended up on an interim build.
