Nick White has posted this on the Vista team blog yesterday, thought I'd give everyone who is interested in testing the latest build of Vista a heads up on the limited availability.

Per my post from last week, I've got some news for you regarding the release of interim build 5728:

1. The 64-bit version of build 5728 is now availabile in both German and English.
2. The window is rapidly closing for download of the English build, as we're nearing our targeted download quantity.

If you've not yet downloaded the build, I would suggest doing so today.

Thank you to all of our beta testers who've downloaded this build to date -- we didn't expect your response to be so rapid and enthusiastic!

Well, if you miss out on directly downloading it from Microsoft, there is always the option of getting it via torrent or newsgroups. It will work with the key you already have from Beta 2 or RC1 build 5600.

Just installed 5728 x64 for my first taste of Vista... very snappy and clean feel to this build. But doesn't appear to be any working creative sound drivers for this build yet...

I'm finding Vista rather boring. I'm running 5728 and it's better then the early betas but they still have not fixed or innovated most of the things on my list.

They simply tried to impress people with shiny things like Aero Glass.....sigh.
