Today Microsoft released to beta testers the latest version of Vista build 5342. I know, you say “another build, this is getting boring”, but this build is different, (digg it)! IT WORKS!! This build comes after Microsoft postponed the retail release for the up and coming operating system until 2007. We also have information that almost 60% of the code for Vista will be rewritten.
We are happy to share with you some screenshots of this new build and brief information about it. Included in this build is an extensive collection of drivers and the exclusive sidebar. Glass is also a feature that we all have come to respect and love, along with the 3D flip. The official version number is 6.0 Version 5342.winmain_idx04.060321-1730. Internet Explorer 7.0 is build Version 7.0.5342.2. Nice features include a new "Paint" and needed redesigned network center. Be prepared to have your system "Rated" again by this OS, and don’t be disappointed by the rating, as things will improve as the OS improves. This version includes an "Ultimate Extras" services (live update, windows live) for those who "own" a copy of window Vista. With windows "Ultimate" Vista, you get Cutting edge programs, Innovative services and Tips and Tricks, w00t!!  Install still takes a lengthly amount of time, but is virtually unattended. Install on a P4 3.66 it took 45 minutes. Vista rebooted 1 time. Here are some early screenshots ~EDIT~ More application screenshots HERE We now have the long awaited Vista 5342 Tweak guide get it HERE Dont forget to check out the Quick Tour of Vista 5365 located HERE

So far, this build is the one that works the best on my PC. Everything is running fine and the OS seems to be faster than the previous builds. I hope MS will continue to improve builds like this, even if I've heard that some code has to be rewritten in order to successfully integrate Media Center and some other programs in the OS.
