Vista Interim Build To Be Released Monday!


Recommended Posts

Could you please, kindly remove what Wendy said, and please don't put what she said in the newsgroups. Names are supposed to be private, I believe, and the newsgroups are meant for testers only...

This is at the risk of sounding elitist, but that is NOT my intention... although admitedly it does look like it.

*cringes and waits for all the flamers*

No flaming here, I'm for freedom of info and all that but sometimes control and rules helps stop misinformation. You have to have a pretty severe password for the NG's numbers letters exclamations marks (not the normal forum password makeup) to access them so it seems clear MS want the info there to stay there. Anybody with legitmate access to the Vista beta will be able to access the NG's and posting info here will make it less likely that participant beta testers will benefit from info that MS don't want made public.

i have it from a reliable source that we'll get the build around 4pm EST

It's 4:10pm, nothing on connect yet... you sure your reliable source isn't someone blowing wind outta his/her arse? lol

It's not being released today.

We are not releasing a build today. I have received emails and IM's from a

number of people about a supposed build release today. This is not the plan

and it seems some people out there that have popular Windows rumor sites

have gotten some bad information.

As when we released 5342 we continue to look at builds to see if we have one

that makes sense to release for further testing and feedback from the beta

audience. The fact that we are doing this is not really news. We've been

doing this since at least prior to 5342. We may have something soon that we

can release to you with any luck it could be sooner rather than later. It's

an ongoing process and I can't make any promises or even speculate what

build or when it might be.

I can tell you that 5365 will not be posted for you today and I can assure

you that as soon as we have something that is worthy of release we'll get it

out there. I would like to have a reasonably solid, updated build available

to you as much as anyone.

Sorry.

All this build up for nothing. It seems a lot people are already disappointed by this :p .

You dont have time to crop a picture? Dont waste our time then, loading a huge picture when only 20% of it contains anything worthy. Put some effort into posting.

Sorry, I dont ever remember posting it for you... I posted it for another user.

Secondly, I posted a thumbnail, you didnt have to open it and look at it.

:rolleyes: Christ sake.

I Seriously think, this thread should be closed. i was the one who started it, and since the info was false, i think the thread should be closed, and have the false info move to Mr Dee's thread.

Mod's watching out there, if ya could please close this thread, as some of us, ( not naming names) are geting restless and routy in here.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
