Bummer, that's no good. In any case, I hope they do fix up the buggy nature of the OS and make it almost similiar to what the 5472.5 build had... -----

Microsoft: Vista RC1 Coming Soon
Brushing off feedback from testers and pundits to push back the first release candidate of Windows Vista and issue a third beta instead, Microsoft confirmed Thursday that RC1 was on the way. Product Manager Nick White says Microsoft will re-open the Vista beta program for the release.
In addition, customers who participated in the Customer Preview Program for Beta 2 will automatically receive RC1, and those who missed the opportunity will have another. "I know you're excited. So am I -- and I'm using a newer build (5505)!" said White. "More news when it's available." Windows Vista RC1 is expected in the coming weeks.

Finally, they admit there's an RC1 coming for the public! I wouldn't mind playing round with RC1 though :) -----

There's some screenshots of the pre-rc1 build at: [ http://www.aeroxp.org/board/index.php?showtopic=5224 ]
Still nothing new for Beta Testers though. -----

Exclusive: Microsoft Still Plans October 2006 Vista Release
According to sources at Microsoft, the company plans to ship Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 (RC1) in early September. More important, perhaps, is that Microsoft still plans to release Vista to manufacturing by the end of October as previously planned, defying rumors that the company would delay Vista yet again.
Although I'm not at liberty to divulge the full contents of the message, Microsoft has placed build 5520 into escrow as the RC1 of Vista. This build will be released to testers and the public after the Labor Day holiday in the United States, which falls this year on September 4. Currently, Microsoft expects to ship RC1 on or after September 7.
Meanwhile, the release to manufacturing (RTM), or final, version of Vista is set for a September 2006 escrow and final release on or before October 25. We can expect a Longhorn Server Beta 3 release in first quarter 2007, an RC2 release in second quarter 2007, and the final release in the second half of 2007.

Wow. Looks like they are still shooting for an October release. I have to say that the 5472.5 build is good already but they still need to polish on the program compatability problem.
But given what progess has been done, I have to say they might have done it or screwed it up again... -----

Hopefully a new build, newer than 5505.6, will be released soon to beta testers. When it does, I'll do up a report and screenshots. :) -----

Well 5505.6 was not released to beta testers. Instead a far newer build is supposed to be just hours away. I hope its worth the wait.

Hope it's worth the wait as I'm having a fun time with Word 2007. In any case, does anyone have the beta of Visio 2007 as I can't find the installer that I saved :( -----

Meanwhile, inside the software colossus, work continues toward an
early September RC1 release for Vista. However, the build previously
planned for RC1--build 5520--had two major problems, so Microsoft had
to move on to a newer version--build 5536--for RC1. The company plans
to ship build 5536 internally today, according to my sources.

If no one else has seen this:
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/24/1325214&from=rss
"Senior Program Manager Steve Riley announced today at Tech.Ed Australia that full HD content shall only be played at the full resolution where only signed drivers are used — only in the 64-bit version of Vista"
"This is a decision that the Media Player folks made because there are just too many ways right now for unsigned kernel mode code [to compromise content protection]. The media companies asked us to do this and said they don't want any of their high definition content to play in x32 at all, because of all of the unsigned malware that runs in kernel mode can get around content protection, so we had to do this."
What-a-joke.
