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.

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.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
