WinInfo: Microsoft ships first post-beta 2 build of Vista
WinInfo | at | by Mike
According to beta testers who contacted me this weekend, Microsoft shipped Windows Vista build 5456 late Friday, its first post-Beta 2 version of the next major Windows release. No word yet on what's changed since Vista Beta 2, but given the relatively buggy nature of Beta 2, one can assume that build 5456 includes various bug fixes and, hopefully, some performance updates. I'm told that testers have access to the Ultimate, Home Basic, Home Premium, and Business editions of build 5456. I'll have more information about Vista build 5456 as soon as possible.
