I still use 5384, is 5456 better?

5456 is better than Beta 2 (5384), yes. It boots quicker, performance is generally quite a bit better too. There are some bugs in 5456 though, so if I were you I'd probably just upgrade to 5472 now instead.

Yeah, it went back for a re-design - but its coming back! :) And in its new form, it blows the old iteration to bits; both design-wise and functionality-wise.

Thanks for the info. I really liked the way it was, and i'm glad that it is getting better :)

Anyone know if you can use this release with a Public Beta key?

Unless, they've suddenly changed anything. I think all keys will continue to work up until RTM (that way people with activated beta 2's get some kind of special bonus with RC1 or something ;)).

5472 is smokin' fast.

The install was so damn fast. I wasn't keeping track but it couldn't have been more then 20-25 minutes.

5472 itself is very fast. It feels very much like a final OS, which is should be at this point. I'd have to problem running 5472 as a main OS.

Does anyone know if they fixed the bug where you type: indexing into the start menu search box and press enter to access the applet, and nothing happens?

If you search for a document in the start menu does it still always highlight search the computer (it's been doing it since 5456 :()?

Are the rating still the same when you use a 855 GME chipset?

Have they changed the turn Windows features on or off dialog?

i signed up during beta 2 and got a key? im i a tester? can i download this build? thanks for the help.

Beta 2 was a public beta, you need to be a Technical/MSDN/TAP tester to get the new build.

Better off waiting till RC1 arrives.

Radish?

kinda off topic, but I was wondering if this was in the last build?? Taskman has translucency when you right click on the taskbar button...kinda cool, but I don't think it's really very useful. :p

This is, i think, at 40%, but you can go from 20% to 100% in increments on 20...fyi

Are u 100% sure that Beta 2 testers can't use their keys to access 5472? Has anybody tried?

I don't even see Vista anywhere on the Microsoft Connect list even if I'm logged in to my account associated with my .NET Passport (in which I registered and got my Beta 2 CD key). And when I click on a link that leads to the download, it says, "Page not found or you don't have permission to view it." :unsure: So I'm guessing it is.

    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
