hAsin Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Just a heads up people, Im not gonna link or source any sites but if you know you're sources, 5259 is leaking publicly. Torrent coming very soon :D Currently being uploaded to FTP (where I get it from hopefully) and then torrent will be out very soon. I'll give it about 12 hours or a little more. So eyes open out there people :) oh and the build: Windows Vista 5259.051113-2100 (winmain_idx02) once again, its a Microsoft Employee leak, so someone is getting "teh boot" ;) did i mention JCXP released the new wallpapers to 5259? lol yeah work it out ;) www.jcxp.net EDIT: uhh. "wallpapers" here -> http://www.jcxp.net/forums/index.php?showt...210entry35020 Edited November 30, 2005 by hAsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hiroshi- Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Shame its leaking really, Not sure if I want to touch this one, as MS said they are willing to accept bug reports from a leak, but they'll question weither or not why we have the leak in the first place.

hAsin Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 we have it because they have untrust worthy employees who are leaking builds that arent supposed to be out *sigh* Yeah MS is going to be ****ed off at this though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.. if your a beta tester, why risk losing it and possibly getting legal backlash for distributing a build? To have a badge that shows a nerd face on it that says "I R TEH LEET".. really now...

Malisk Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Well the problem with leaks on P2P/FTP is that the leaker isn't necessarily in any tester program on MS at all, so not much to do there for them, and not many reasons for the leaker to care. I really think MS looks more seriously at the leak source than whatever happens next. The MS leaker is already writing what'll soon enough be history with his/her leak.

.Ark Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I think that they should not give ANYONE the builds... Have their own employees test them AT Microsoft that way they dont get leaked.. unless the actual manager leaks it <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4af_billy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 im sure i read that this wasnt even going to be releaced?! or maybe ms leaked it to keep us all happy so we dont flame them as much!?! hmm well until i see a working torrent then im still a bit sceptical!

Menge Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) meh.... i'll test it if it's really leaked :) i've been meaning to install a Vista build on a separate HD for a while :D edit: arr scurvy bag's out... if anyone gets that ;) but yeh... it's bad on S/L...

Randolph Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Leaked. There is a torrent going around. Windows.Vista.Build.5259.x86.DVD-JCXP I will not be telling anyone where to obtain this. With common sense you should know where to look.

f4af_billy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 renegade sailer bay anyone..... *cough* :whistle: and btw, this ISNT the build that tap testers got.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malisk Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) That's true... Good catch, I for one had missed that. The TAP build is: 5259.winmain_idx02.051117-1715 So theirs was slightly newer. So it seems unlikely anyone in the TAP program leaked this and most likely from MS as it's been said Edited November 30, 2005 by Jugalator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Live Veteran Posted November 30, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 30, 2005 I really hope it wasn't an MS employee, if this does in fact leak. Probably a TAP customer breaking their agreement. Which is complete BS. No one cares about confidentiality anymore. Being invited to a technical beta or something like TAP used to mean something. It used to be an honor and a responsibility. Now it's just a conduit to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemistry Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I am an official Beta Tester and just in the days of testing Whistler, I also downloaded the leaked builds also. I did not distribute them to others. But I did test the leaked builds just ensure where the development work has reached too. Downloading this build now at 206kb/s so should be downloaded soon..

hAsin Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 DONT use this build people. Stop.. If you download it, Read the NFO Thoroughly :) It has a dual boot issue with the potential of wrecking you're XP NTLDR and also theres some strange shut down issue. They are trying to stop using boot ini all together and 5259 was the first stage in it which is mostly why it wasnt released (November CTP). So yeah, install at own risk. :) Make Backups of Data if you are willing to gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malisk Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Make Backups of Data if you are willing to gamble Of course, if one wish to try out this with a minimum of risks, one can always just run it in a virtual machine. Sure, kiss the DWM effects goodbye, but if you're curious of the features, that could be an option. Probably a TAP customer breaking their agreement. Again, from what I've seen of the build tags, this isn't the 5259 build handed out to TAP members, so I wouldn't go off a tangent and call TAP programs not using to mean what they once did to people, unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure this is indeed leaked by a TAP member. This build had an earlier date than the TAP build I've seen shots of, so it sure seem to point to MS to me, and that's at least what the guys leaking this are saying too, and they of any should know who handed it to them.
