Over the weekend, Windows Vista build 5231 leaked to the Web, offering users a glance at some upcoming features that Microsoft will be adding to future Community Technical Preview (CTP) and beta releases. Build 5231 is highly unstable--barely usable, in fact--but an interesting preview of things to come.

Highly unstable & barely usable :blink: That doesn't sound like progress to me :no: Yes I know it is still beta, but Paul is making sound like it is worse then build 5219.

Has anyone tried this build? How stable is it really?

That's true, but Neowin isn't responable for his actions and we've been told:

Reminder:

...  Admitting to downloading it, helping others find it, or asking about how to get it is not allowed.

While it may carry the same build number of 5231, it's possible that a newer iteration of it will appear on Connect. I don't know if it will or won't be the same build exactly, just pointing out that it doesn't have to be... Much like the pre-PDC build shwon on Neowin was an earlier iteration of 5219.

Is the build unstable because of this?

First of all, let me get a few things straight: THIS BUILD WAS NOT LEAKED BY UX.Evolutions!! We won't ever leak builds on the site or where ever. The history of the leak is as following: on one way or another ChrisNT123 managed to get the 5231 nuked ISO. The ISO was nuked because all file names where truncated during the ISO creation process. ChrisNT123 managed to fix this nuked ISO partly, he just renamed all files which he saw by hand via the file properties. Though the most files still aren't fixed. When he had enough files fixed to make it run, he started to give it out to a selected group of friends.

He got it from me. And i've got it from a friend of my sister's girlfriend who has an uncle that knows someone from microsoft and that guy knows someone at symantec that knows somebody from the asian microsoft department.

Really mr "L33T h3ckers" ... You will never find out, it would be stupid if you would know how he got it.

Well, don't worry, the key used to install it is unique, although the PDC Key can be used I heard, but I don't believe that. So, Microsoft will find out which one of the 10,000 employees leaked it and he or she will be fired. :)

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
