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 ;)

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

The problem is though, weither or not its leaked by an MS employee, thats the bigger issue, torrenting it is a big deal too.. 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...

(Dear god my spelling is terrible tonight)

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.

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

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.

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..

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. :)

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.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
