if you ask me it's feak.....

if you zoom in on the picture where the text say;

windows vista beta 2

evaluation copy. Build 5308.winmain_idx01.060126-1800

the background of the text is crappy.....

That is because of jpeg compression artifacts. Same thing has happened around the icons.

I wished they kept Luna as a theme :(

I don't see how hard it is to have it in there.

Classic, Luna and Aero *default*, thats how it should be :)

Thanks for the screenshot, guess all we know is a newish build #.. hehe

^ What's wrong with having a Pentium 3 600mhz? I still got that! (it's sitting somewhere in my grandma's room though) =P lol

Back to topic...all it shows is a new Network (Center) icon and a new Volume icon in the systray....

Even those aren't new. *sigh*

Even those aren't new. *sigh*

We wont see final icons till RC build, and probably it won't look as it looks now. But, for sure many of the icons through the development will be part of shell32.dll. I guess they are playing with the things and final decision about many things isn't made yet. The programming is like an art. MS Developers pretty much finished the code for shell (theme). Now they can skin Windows Vista into anything they want, it is nothing what would take more then a month.

HAHAHAHHAHA

Looks like someone hasn't saved a jpeg / gif in his/her life.

HAHAHA

All I will say is that while this specific compile isn't the February CTP, but it is an early build of the CTP. It will bare the build number 5308 and will be from the idx01 branch. The build itself installs much faster than any previously release builds, and Thurrot is correct about the Sidebar being in the build. The build is feature complete, although it is not UI complete... meaning the April CTP (aka Beta 2/RC0 equivalent... although the April CTP will not be milestone quality) will contain most of the final UI touches and bits.

    • Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
