AQUaDeX Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 A representative from the Microsoft Windows Vista Beta team made a post on the announcement newsgroup not long ago announcing that build 5219 will be available to technical beta testers. Just a quick note that this Thursday we will be releasing build 5219 on connect.microsoft.com so you may regress fixed bugs, see the progress we've made and start looking for new issues. Details will follow but for now I can provide you with this: Our target to release is 4PM Pacific time, Thursday September 15th. You will need a new product key. We will be releasing Vista only at this time, you will get updated server builds for the beta, but just not this Thursday. This is NOT beta 2, but an interim release between beta 1 and beta 2. If you install 5219 you will not be able to upgrade to the next build. Thanks.

Hurmoth Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sounds great! I wonder why they're not releasing it today :/ Wonder when MSDN Subscribers will get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P!P Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I was expecting a new build soon since they said they are trying to get a new build out about every month. I'm guessing MSDN users will get it around the same time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 So its more like Beta 1B, not quit Beta 2 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhast Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Beta 1.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzykotic Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 No, it's an interim (in between build). Interims usually come between betas and release candidates, they're progress builds for the most part that include fixes/solutions to problems found by tech testers (IIRC).

scakesence Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Build 5219 already leaked earlier today for those less fortunates that did not made it into the beta. If you know where to look that is :p I was tempted to download it, but I might aswell just wait 1 day so I can get my key through the beta program.

Brandon Live Veteran Posted September 14, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 14, 2005 In the past, these are usually labeled "Refresh" builds on MSDN. So this would be called "Beta 1 Refresh" Nowadays, we're apparently calling them Community Technology Previews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
