Microsoft has quietly released build 5536 for the first 100,000 people to download it from their Windows Vista site.

5536 was recently released to tech testers and is the best build that has ever been officially released.

Be quick and get 5536 before Microsoft closes the downloads at 100,000.

coolvi,

Yes it is basically the same but with Diskeeper you can defrag multiple drives on the fly at the same time with no loss in your jobs. Windows is basically a strpped down version minus the many features that you get with the professional premium editon of Diskepper 10.

belto...

It means you spend way too much time defragging and not enough time using your OS. Run defrag as a scheduled task at the wee hours of the night. Is it really that important to you to run it NOW?

It says that on nVidia's site. What was confusing about "These drivers are tested for use only with Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 only." This isn't beta 2.

I managed to sort out the udf thing, an now the sad truth...it wants a key..... I went to the site for registering for beta 2 several times, eneterd my details like the good boy I am and nada, not one email and a 404 at the end, it was useless, so I waited as they said RC1 would be public...now this pre RC1...and no key (anyone feeling generous, maybe I can storm up some general pity)

will RC1 be really public, or just for the few lucky enough to obtain a key at beta 2 stage...I don't think it is fair, those of us that had to wait for a more solid build after the terrible reviews of beta 2 get no chance.....


Oh well!
