Unusual Windows Vista Build Surfaces
section: download, for your questions: KezNews forum, 13.8.2007
While surfing around on the internet, we located something quite unusual. Buried within several technical videos (can someone say Ben Stein boring?) was a Windows Vista build of 6429.fbl_multimedia_media.070514-1730. Thanks to pacpis for this news.
We won't bother speculating as to what this build represents, but word is spreading that this could be an early developmental build of Windows "7" (or a dogfood SP2 build). A UAC prompt within the Local Training demo shows the build as being a WEX build.
The demos themselves deal with audio fidelity testing. They're definitely worth a watch if you happen to have the necessary tools and want to test the sound coming from your computer (to prove that Creative makes terrible drivers, for example).

this is not a version on windows 7. its an early build of windows home server
enough to think a build number in vista has something to do with a future windows?
"oh yeah, look at that, a new build number in the service oack... ohhhh, that must
mean this somehow came back from the future and got into vista, let's make news because
we are lame"
they are simply two-month-old experimental builds of a service pack!
cjg83... windows home server has build numbers of 5.2.3790.x. it is based on ws2k3.
this build is a test release of vista media centre edition which ms is working on for the
new ms-hd entertainment centre pc due for release in 2008/2009. the build is specifically
designed so people can watch hd dvds, play new hd games and much more using their hd-tvs
from the comfort of their armchair. i'm an official msdn tester.
Not Windows 7
