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.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.

      You could disable this "functionality/feature/whatever" with 2 registry keys, ages ago.
