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.

It comes from its "A series" of mini PCs, which are supposed to support AI natively; however, although others in the series include an NPU, this A6 variant does not. Below is a quote from the buyer's guide from the official website: Mini PCs that include a dedicated NPU are still quite expensive, which explains the low price of this A6 variant. Below are its full specifications.

    • They are neither of those things They cause virtually zero issues to end users as when leveraged correctly they are invisible. They aren't 'DRM', because, they're nothing to do with DigitalRightsManagement Some Anti-Cheat services I did see are starting to *use* the TPM to store creds/tokens, which it's for, but it's not involved beyond that. I would suggest doing some reading, both articles are fairly lengthy, but for MS Learn they're actually pretty decent at explaining the concepts. SecureBoot https://learn.microsoft.com/en...ystem-security/trusted-boot TPM https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/hardware-security/tpm/trusted-platform-module-overview Cybersecurity in the modern world is all about defence in depth, and these are two of the layers of the security onion
