fishrman Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited July 16, 2006 by aeden_p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionXN1 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 :p Im using vista as a default OS atm. A new build would be nice as an error i had says it will be fixed in the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismaddern Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 There wont be a public release most likely ever again. They might decide to give out another Beta to the public a month or two before the official release, but dont expect anything. Windows Vista has over 10,000 testers (Or was itover 25,000?), and thats well plenty to get alot of the bugs out. Well see how It goes. Also, this build is a pre-release (I guess Ill call it that...) of RC1. It is a build to make sure most bugs have been taken out of the build, and most bugs arent really visible to the human eye. If there are bugs, they will eventually be fixed in RC1 or a later build. Got to remember this isnt final so... RC1 is a public release. Can't be bothered with long reply. And havent read past this in thread. Apologies if inapropriate. Will catch up soon.. just back from holiday :) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well since it's deep into sunday, I guess it's not coming this weekend. But you never know ;) We just have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismaddern Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hmm.... That was an internal test build. I would say within the next week or so we should see a testers build depending upon how happy they are with that build. However, an internal build does not mean necessarily a testers build. Also... to people that activated their Beta 2... there are certain *advantages* ;) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartMeUp Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I guess I waited all weekend and ... nothing :( Looks like that Microsoft exec that was promising a new build didn't know what he was in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipdo Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well since it's deep into sunday, I guess it's not coming this weekend. But you never know ;) We just have to wait. um...I believe that most MS people are off on Sunday (and Saturday?), and Wendy said that she was going kayaking or something on Saturday. Of course, she could have been joking but I don't think that they're have been any posts from Wendy or Paul (or any other MS employee) all weekend...

Hurmoth Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I guess I waited all weekend and ... nothing :( Looks like that Microsoft exec that was promising a new build didn't know what he was in for. It's only Sunday, 3:52PM PDT. There's plenty of time for them to release it still. Plus, it is always possible that they found problems with this build and decided not to release it. I'm sure we'll live without a new build this weekend ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta believe people have better things to do on their weekends than sit by their computers and wait for a beta operating system to put out a new release...

Secondly, who are you telling to get a life? Why do people even make comments like that. If you don't have an answer for the question, why post and waist our time?

fishrman Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 They didn't "miss their mark"; they're still on schedule. Remember that they never calimed it would be coming "this weekend", all that was said in the original story was that it would come in the "next few days". And they're keeping to that schedule. Give it some time, and yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipdo Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Looks like it will be 5472, as if we didn't know that. :p It should also be released today, or possibly tomorrow, as the sdk that requires this build is already out. IMPORTANT: This version of the Microsoft Windows SDK is intended to support development targeting the following release: .NET Framework 3.0 July CTP Windows Vista build 5472 Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiven Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 There's been so many new releases, and ever since i got 5342 a long time ago, it doesn't really look any different. I don't know much about Vista, but don't all the versions run, look, and feel the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seblanger Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It doesn't matter how it looks. I'm interested in the performance and how stable the build is going to be. I'm very suprised of a release today or tomorrow :) Let's wait and see. I love any new build of Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishrman Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 i hope autoupdate on the old build lets you update to the new one No, it won't be pushed out as a simple update, though with that said, it *may* be possible to upgrade from interim to interim by performing an "Upgrade Installation". Key word is "possible", which is not the same as "recommended" (for obvious reasons, upgrading from build-to-build could lead to further complications than what's to be "expected".)
