New Vista build...when?


Recommended Posts

subj basically

Vista beta testing is so boring...I miss Whistler Beta times, new build every week...woot! I loved how MS would release a fresh Whistler build every week on a specific day (was it Friday or Sunday? lol) at specific time...sigh...

Of course you will. You'll see 2 builds before Vista Beta 2.

You'll the October CTP, and the November CTP builds. Since microsoft already announced that since the PDC early on september, the company was going to deliver monthly builds here on.

The October CTP should also have the Sidebar in by default, according to Microsoft's info given to Paul Thurott.

Actually thats not true, it has been confirmed that testers and the public won't see the Sidebar officially implemented into Windows Vista until beta 2, which is expected around December 2005 or early Q1 2006.

Yes, I read that too, but it has been officially decided that technical testers and the general public won't get to use a build of Vista with Sidebar until BETA 2.

Beta 2 will be a much better look at what we can expect Vista to be. It will be more advanced, and many hardware companies are prepping drivers for it (NVIDIA, ATI for example) ... So look out ! I hope it will be out in november, that would be nice !

Andre you really need to be a little optimistic and not preach so much doom and gloom lol.

The October CTP should have the sidebar.

Well from what i have heard the PDC was the only version to have sidebar, the MSDN release of 5219 has no sidebar. but it looks like the sidebar will be in the CTP releases but not in the final Beta 2, which to me sounds a little pointless!

Chris, sometimes doom and gloom makes your wishes come true. ;) Its like Wayne and his reverse pyschology trick to find out when the next build is coming. :)
