Vista Build 5342 Released - Official Topic


Recommended Posts

I wish to have it not test it! Wheres the screenshots of something cool? I'm getting an invite to vista in the next 2 weeks, can't wait, I'm being nominated!

PS: Look at my signature, it says I have invites, so start e-mailing me for invites!

So it takes 2 weeeks or ATLEAST 2 weeks? Because im still waiting for mine to :D

Are you being nominated by that msdn guy too? well he said it takes less than 2 weeks but give it 2 weeks before leaving another comment or email... he has a busy weekend thats for sure!!

I can't believe it is not showing up on Connect for me! I am in a TAP program for Vista, and am running Build 5308 now, but 5342 STILL has not shown up. :angry: Grrrrr.

Any other Connect users still not seeing it? I've got a DX9 laptop (Radeon 9600 Mobility) that should run "real glass" if it is in fact in this build, but since it hasn't shown up I cannot check it out!

If I install this build on a seperate partition how probable is it that the bootloader can screw something up with my c:\ partition and my way into xp 32bit? Just wondering...

It's always possible. Backup everything important and cross your fingers.

This time around I have ghost my machine and I am trying the upgrade path and I am seeing if that will work.

If it borks my XP then oh well and I will bug it. All part of the fun :D

Anyone else having problems activating the new build?

I cannot activat, and I also wasn't able to install with my first generated key. My second generated key let me install, but it still wont activate. Microsoft really dropped the ball on activation :no: . However this build (x64) is running ALOT faster for me than 5308. Also I noticed that several of the bugs have been fixed.

Did anyone notice the built in screen shot (sniping) tool.. I think that was a great addon.

Guys, has this build been released to MSDN subscribers? Or is it just TAP/Connect?

I am primary SystemAdmin for a MS Gold Partner company and need to be testing these builds for compatability and deployment - makes my life much harder when they don't release to MSDN.

I've been desperatly trying to get onto Beta Program but at the moment am still stuck with MSDN. Anyone have any invites, please PM me - the invite would be put to good use.

I've installed every build since Beta1 and have run as main OS on primary PC since PDC'05 build (5219 as memory serves) - obviously with laptop and VMs on hand for when things go wrong :whistle:

I think I could really contribute, just need a way in.

Thanks

Joe

As far as it has been told this is a tight release to TAP/Connect testers....doesn't seem like a wide release to msdn or technet right now.

And as to the 14 year old....get a grip on things.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
