As reported by TUAW [here](http://www.tuaw.com/2006/10/08/windows-vista-rc2 -doesnt-work-on-macs-via-boot-camp/), Vista RC2 doesn’t work on the Mac Minis. Or at least, it doesn’t work on mine. I’ve heard reports of some Mini users getting the install to work with no problems. On my machine, the Vista installation routine doesn’t like the smell of the partition that Bootcamp creates, and refuses to install.
This is a shame - I thought Microsoft were actively supporting the Mini, and other Apple machines. This struck me as a Smart Move. Shame they’ve broken things in this release. Unless, of course, it’s a Bootcamp, or firmware problem…
I’ll have to continue to see if I can find a workaround. Or wait for the RTM release - not that there’s any certainty that this release will fair any better.
