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.

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
