An odd thing happened to me after installing the Vista SP1 RTM. I have a laptop running Vista Ultimate. The OS was installed using my MVP Team Suite license. I use this machine as my primary development box. After installing Vista SP1 I had two interesting things show up on the desktop:
1. "Test Mode" showed up in each corner of the desktop - Run Bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING OFF using an elevated prompt to turn off test for signed drivers.
2. "for testing purposes only." and build number - This one I am not sure why it has appeared in the corner. My previous version did not. The only thing I could find was a very lengthy step by step process which seemed way to complicated.
So I don't have the warm fuzzy feeling that I've been hearing everyone talk about after installing Vista SP1. I don't feel like I'm running the RTM build. The messages I see make me feel like its the RC. I hope there nothing else that I can't see broken. I didn't realize that I was signing up for the beta test!
