Vista RC1 Build 5728 Publicly Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-build-out-the-window dept.

ClausValca writes "Doing some late-night surfing last night and came across a post over at Cybernet News: Limited Time Only: Vista 5728 Available To The Public. Although apparently intended for the TAP and Technical Beta Testers....it is available for download to the public via this Microsoft public download page for Vista 5728. There is a link on that page as well for direct download of the latest 64-bit flavor of that version as well. An Ars Technica post also has some background info on the new release. Techweb is reporting that Microsoft is specifically asking for feedback on this release, so make sure and let them know what you think."

    Techweb is reporting that Microsoft is specifically asking for feedback on this release, so make sure and let them know what you think.

    Probably a bit too late to ask for POSIX interoperability, eh?

    I wish they wrote A ChangeLog.txt like most of the people in the biz.

    They did - and they saved it in Word format, and its corrupted. So far, 3 employees have been wounded by flying chairs for suggesting they use OpenOffice to open and re-save it.

  3. The kind of feedback they're looking for by justinkim · · Score: 3, Funny

    And just so everyone is clear, 'Replace this steaming pile with Ubuntu" is probably *not* the kind of feedback Microsoft is looking for ;)
