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.

Paul

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.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
