Andareed Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Windows 32bit Family Windows XP - 5.1.2600 Windows XP SP1a - v1106 Windows XP SP2 - v2180 Windows Server 2003 - 5.2.3790 Windows Server R2 Windows Server 2003 SP1 - 1421 Windows Vista - 6.0.5270 Windows 64bit Family Windows XP 64bit - 1289 Windows Server 2003 SP1 64bit - 1421 Windows Longhorn 64bit - 6.0.5270 Not exactly round numbers. We'll probably see something rounded up to the nearest 10. So something like 5870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmarE D Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It's not "you people", it's only a couple of people that have been bitching about this and Vista in general. It's just that the bitchy ones are very vocal and just don't stop. They post repeatedly in any thread remotely about Vista. So it just seems like everyone at Neowhine is bitching about Vista and these fantasy themes. The ones that are happy with Vista continue to use it. Where I come from the squeaky wheel gets thrown away. Funny how you call it Neowhine and talk about other people complaining and whining, most of the recent posts I've seen you make is you mostly complaining and whining about something. You talk of Neowin like you hate it with a passion, yet here you are. If people here bother you then ignore it and move on. Stop letting stuff you read on the INTERNET bug you. Nobody is forcing you to read others opinions and post. That's all your choice and your own fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Will the Windows Vista Ultimate edition RTM on Nov 8 or is it just the Windows Vista Business & Windows Vista Enterprise Editon ? I am hoping I can get to use the OCUR with Media Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogerjones Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 since forever? I'll ask again: when has MS ever used the build number as part of their marketing strategy? The answer: never. Consumers don't even know what the build number is. Most of the people here on Neowin don't even understand it. It's called Windows Vista. That's the name on the box. Not Windows Vista 5840. You didn't see any commercials for XP that said: "Imaging the possibilities with Windows XP 2600!" The build number, from a marketing standpoint, is meaningless.

Brandon Live Veteran Posted October 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've found out that the source of Mr. Allchin's concerns was an unexpectedly buggy pre-RTM build of Windows Vista that surprised the company. The previous Friday, Microsoft pushed Windows Vista build 5824 into escrow, hoping that this build could qualify as the final shipping version. But a catastrophic problem with the build destroyed any systems that upgraded from Windows XP, requiring complete reinstalls. After a frantic several days of trying to find the bug, Microsoft finally fixed the problem last Friday and reset escrow. Microsoft on Friday internally released build 5840, which did not include the problem. Testing over the weekend produced positive feedback. Man is he so full of ****. I hope his source gets caught and fired (especially when so much of it is embellished, misconstrued, or just plain wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Any Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Microsoft always rounded their build numbers... XP Final was not 2600 it was something finishing in xxx9 afaik, they just compiled it so that the build was an pair number! I wouldnt surprise vista was 6000 but then again... that looks like too "rounded" for me. 5870 should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xelencin Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I remember both Windows Me and XP jumping build numbers for RTM. Vista will probably jump to 6000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmorya Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Microsoft is already at build 5920 internally so its most likely it will RTM at build 6.0.6000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper101 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Is all the attention worth it? Iv tested all the major Releases and im not happy with the out come of Vista. I hate things with to much features :angry: Vista has to many. I don't want features i want security and Productivity. And Seriously the Black is to much what are we Goths. Im seriously Not Upgrading my Hardware for some overrated, Bloated, to much features Os. I could Buy a Macbook for the amount id have to pay to upgrade my hardware + the Os its self. Steve Jobs might not have any common sence. But atleast he doesn't have a Bald headed retard named steve ballmer :laugh: Remember PDC 2003 hahahaha what a retarded intro.
