The visual elements are getting even more polished by looking at that build, tho it would be cool if Aero was like the start menu - with the black, not just transparent.

Radish?

So what if people want to guess build numbers...it's not hurting you any, so why do you care? Personally, I just think that your comment was dumb, but that's just me :rolleyes:

i think it's pretty dumb too...

posting guesses of a build just fills the thread with completely useless posts. so basically i have to scan each message for a split second before realizing it's mindless talk from really bored ppl and then scroll down hoping the next post will actually have some worthwhile discussion/info. my 2 cents

I agree that those kinds of posts are (usually) useless, but we all do have the right (well, it's a privilege) to post what we want as long as it's within the rules and ontopic. On that note, I really think that we shouln't take this any further, as it's getting more and more offtopic.

But...

These boards have seemed really dead lately, though. Can you really blame anyone for just wanting to stir up some kind of discussion? And really, if you're getting annoyed by the occasional (and usually short) post that you feel isn't relevant, then you need to work on your patience and... ego. This thread is about a build that is to be released, and since nobody knows for sure which build that is (no build was even officially confirmed to be released from Paul or Wendy, for that matter, so I don't know where you all got 5472 from other than that it's been talked about in the newsgroups...), it is ontopic to discuss this.

/offtopic :whistle:

^ I personally don't see much difference between the screenshot above and beta 2 (apart from the build number)

Um...well there's some new icons :p actually, it was posted in the newsgroups to show someone who was inquiring about a bug that it was fixed (there used to be black all around the search box), just in case you're not a BT or go to the NGs often. Oh, and it shows the new shutdown/lock/flyout buttons...

I think it will be this one :)

5474 !!!!

Um...why? :p The latest build I've seen anyway is 5477. But really, it's likely going to be 5472, because they've compiled it at least 5 times now...they only do this with builds they're going to release (or demo?), AFAIK

wasnt this in RC1 branch? because microsoft said 5400 builds are of RC1 branch

i am sayin ...because they havent edited windows beta 2 thing in bottom right corner into RC1

54xx is the RC1 branch. My guess is we just have more important things to do than change that string =P

Don't have any build installed right now. I'm really disappointed in Vista. Longhorn looked really good back in 2004 but Vista is just so bloated and for what a couple of new features and some lame effects. Microsoft seems to have no imagination.

Oh well I suppose by 2010 I will be forced to run Vista, maybe by then it will be better.

Dont have anything good to say then dont post!!

look, I don't really agree with him either, but as I said before, as long as what he says are within the rules, and is ontopic, then he has the right (privilege...) to state his opinion. I think you should take a good, hard look at your own post if you're going ot be that way :rolleyes:

Any news on if this will be released?

Its coming. Quite soon, in fact. Just be patient, and who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised as to when it comes. But certainly don't spend hours waiting for it, instead, find some time to brush up on things besides an operating system :p

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
