Windows Vista RC1 build is 5600.16384

[camsoft]

Definitely not from PDC 2003.

Looks very similar. I would actually say they look eairler.

Well in oone of Pauls road to vistas he had siad somthing that the current state of vista but at the time beta 1 or so was nothing like the build he saw in 2002 at Redmand that showed some radicle things, so maby this is part of it

but those screenshots cant be old - there are new office 2007 icons in start menu

[freak_power]

Whatever is it looks better then Vista...much much better....

Exactly. People are clearly blind or do not listen in these forums. Also the fact that someone pointed out that one of the songs was released recently that is pictured in the pic. I guess these are fake/concepts. The boot screen seems like the only thing that could be genuine since that's similar to what they discuss it looking like/feeling like.

The cover of justin timberlake's not-yet-released album is in those screenshots. So those are definitely recent.

[sasint]

It is definitely not Longhorn.

It could be a new build or fake.

add to that the use of the windows orb, which to my knowladge wasn't used in the longhorn days (it was a normal start button then).

[Guest andrea484]

THis is what Vista should have looked like, heres hoping that these screenshots are really a new build

On this screeny it definatly says Windows Vista. If this is an old concept shot it would have said Longhorn, right?

i can read windows Vi....... and then?

enna maybe?

:D

[freak_power]

The main reason why such a good concept of Longhorn was scrapped are...****ing stupid manager retards...

[pyro7469]

I agree that the windows orb and the office 2007 icons make a strong argument that this a recent screen, however the sidebar looks likes its been totally redone

I think I can spot the OneCare Live icon in the control panel also. It has all the new icons, so the build can't be that old.*Wishing Patrick was a compulsory liar*

Do not want to be beta police, but have you read your NDA?

You are NOT suppose to post that here, and you ruin what MS trust her BTs.

Carm down. It is in the cafe newsgroup for starters. And secondly, Im hardly leaking sensitive information. I would never leak any information that would break the NDA.

Have you nothing better to do then police the beta program?

[Hurmoth]

From what I can see (to bad the shots are blurry) the UI is very nice. To bad Microsoft didn't do something like that. Not that the current UI isn't good, certianly better than Longhorn's Plex :p They should have made it where we can control the color of the start menu and taskbar along with the window color. But oh well, onto RC1 :yes:

Whilst I agree, MS frequent these forums a lot and all they need to do is a simple WHOIS on your website cameroncooke.com and find out your info and query their DB and NPR (no pre-release) you from all betas.

Hi Tom,

As I do respect the beta program, I have emailed patrick asking him if this was ok to do.

They dont need to do a whois on my domain as, i've emailed them.

Found this thanks to a digg user, http://www.istartedsomething.com/wp-conten...demystified.jpg looks similar.

[tehrealmccoy]

That screenshot is ancient. From PDC 2003.

[pyro7469]

Yeah, I know it was from PDC 2003 but the screen shots still seems to have some elements from that concept build.

Whether or not that's fake, it does look a bit nicer than the current Aero, to the point where I wouldn't mind using that full-time. Even the flickr images look good, but I suppose it's nothing more than either an old build or an OS skin.
