23.02.2009Windows Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V Beta Build Clarification
Just a quick note to anyone that plans on testing the new Windows Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V Beta. The build Microsoft posted
here is in
fact a much newer build than either the original Server 2008 RC1 or Vista SP1 RC1. While the original RC1 was Build 6001.17051 for Server 2008 and
6001.17052 for Vista SP1, the new Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V beta is substantially newer at 6001.17119 and may even contain further
stability/performance improvements to the actual OS so it may be worth checking it out even if you don't intend to test the Hyper-V bits. Also note
that due to Hyper-V being a 64-Bit OS only option, there is no 32-Bit build available of the newer Server 2008 RC1.

14.12.2007Support for IE8 pre-released versions extended

could indicate that the final product may be released during April. Dean Hachamovitch, General Manager, Internet Explorer had officially announced
earlier that there will be one more public update of IE8 in the first quarter of 2009, followed up by the final release. Currently, the IE8 Beta
testers can download the latest partner build and the rest can download the Beta 2 which is available to public. The current IE build version the
beta testers can download is 8.0.6001.18344 and the one available in the leaked Windows 7 Beta 1 is 8.0.7000.0.

31.12.2008Windows Vista SP1 Build 6001.16633 Info
Some very quick info that we came across regarding the latest release of Vista SP1 to testers. As Mary Jo Foley
previously reported, Microsoft have indeed made the latest build of Vista SP1
(6001.16633) available as a standalone update file to testers.
Build: 6.0.6001.16633 (longhorn.070803-1655)
Filename:
windows6.0-kb936330-x86.exe
Size: 684MB
Surprisingly, the update file is in the .exe format. Many (including myself)
were expecting Microsoft to deliver the update for Vista SP1 in the the new Vista/Server 2008-only .msu format used for current Hotfixes.

24.08.2007Windows Server 2008 RC2 Confirmed?
A few days ago I was reading an article over at the
Realtime Windows Server
Community (noticed it via
ActiveWin)
where they were wondering whether Microsoft would release an RC2 build of Server 2008 prior to RTM. Well, thanks to the new Windows Server 2008 RC1
with Hyper-V Beta which is publicly available
here,
Microsoft may have inadvertently already answered that exact question. Since the Server 2008 build included with the Hyper-V Beta is a newer compile
(6001.17119) than the originally released Server 2008 RC1 (6001.17051), Microsoft have included an updated EULA which directly mentions RC2:

executables into one image:
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is now available for download. Windows Vista SP1 will deliver
improvements and enhancements to existing features that significantly impact customers, but it does not deliver substantial new operating system
features.
Download Windows Vista SP1 here. The download contains Window Vista SP1 for five languages: English, French, German,
Japanese, and Spanish. Note Additional languages will be available soon.
Once you download the Windows Vista SP1 package, you

12.02.2008DirectX 10.1 in Windows Vista SP1 - The Evolution
As Windows Vista brought to the table the exclusive DirectX 10, the first service pack for the operating system will evolve Microsofts graphics
technology to version 10.1. DirectX 10.1 is already available to over 12,000 testers via the first beta of Vista Service Pack 1, concomitantly with
the official release of Build 6001.16659. Although the testing milestones of Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP SP3 Beta, are officially
limited in terms of access, a hack is available designed to permit the download of Windows Vista SP1 Beta Build 6001.16659 straight from Microsoft,
and simultaneously test drive DirectX 10.1.
However, Vista users have to understand that DirectX 10.1, as well as DirectX 10 is a
technology intimately connected with the underlying graphics card, such as the upcoming ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series. According to an AMD whitepaper
focused on the implementation of DirectX 10.1 in the ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series, the latest application programming interface from Microsoft, manages
to "unlock the state of the art in GPU technology."

05.04.2007Microsoft Clears Vista SP1 WDK Beta Confusion
The Windows Driver Kit team
sent an updated e-mail earlier
today regarding
yesterday's
Vista SP1 WDK Beta
notice.
We have
included both the original and
new e-mails below:
Original e-mail from
yesterday:
A new beta
WDK build is now available for
download on Connect. This WDK
beta release to Connect
coincides with the recent OS
beta release for Vista SP1
Preview. Please take a few
moments to install the new
build and test as applicable
for your needs. As always,
please file bugs as quickly
and detailed as possible.
New e-mail from
today:
Apologies All,
We made a typo in the last
notification that went that
referenced the wrong OS. We
didn't mean to imply or cause
any confusion on the
availability of the Service
Pack for Vista. The WDK build
available now on connect is
the latest for Windows Server
2008.
Thanks,
The
WDK Beta team
Microsoft have also now
posted the actual WDK bits on
Connect. The filename for the
download is
6001.16549.070628-1825-WDKSP1_
EN.ISO. Although SP1 is
mentioned in the filename, the
description of the download
states that the "WDK build is
to compliment the latest
Windows Server 2008 beta
builds".

interested in checking out the
latest WDK Beta bits, head
over to Connect and apply for

18.07.2007Windows Vista, Longhorn Server and IE 7 Beta Test Reboot
Testers who responded to the
Microsoft call up to be
re-included into the Windows
Longhorn Server beta test have
been notified that the test
has been "restarted" under
the old name "Windows Vista,
Longhorn Server and IE 7
Beta"
The latest
build, Windows Longhorn Server
6001-16406-061208-1900 for X86
and X64 is available for
download and testing. As of
yet there is still no final
designation for the server
version but we'd still like
to speculate that it will end
up as Windows Server 2007
seeing as Microsoft already
made it clear when Windows
Server 2003 was released that
it intended to stay with the
"Windows Server"
branding.
Windows
Longhorn Server didn't
receive much attention at the
Consumer Electronic Show, it
was shadowed by Windows Vista
and the Windows Home Server
announcement, hopefully this
will change when WinHEC hits
later this year in LA.

21.10.2005Photos: Installing Vista SP1 beta
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: Earlier today I downloaded the standalone installer for Windows Vista SP1 build 6001.16659 and installed it on a few systems
to see what it was like -- and I thought you might like to take a look at it.
Don't expect huge UI changes after installing SP1
-- the changes are small and subtle. In fact, if you're not familiar with Windows Vista, you might miss the SP1 changes. I've put together an image
gallery showing some of the most significant changes.

28.09.2007Vista SP1 v.658 First Impressions
Although Mike doesn't mention the actual build number, doing a little math, we know v.646 = 6001.17030 from the
Vista SP1 Seminar so, 658 - 646 =
12, 17030 + 12 =17042, v.658 looks to be 6001.17042.
Mike Walker: To give you guys a sneak peek at the SP1 build. I just
installed Vista SP1 with zero issues. The upgrade process seamless and took approx. an hour. There was only one concern however. My box was waiting
for about 20 minutes to shut down. Other than that, all goodness.
I have noticed a huge difference in performance of my machine,
it's like someone injected an espresso into my Vista! This is my first day using so I'll be sure to check back in to let you guys and gals know how
things are going.
Some of these new features that are under the covers that screen shots will not be able to show you:
- Secure Sockets Tunneling
Protocol (SSTP) allows for easier setup of VPN connections due to the way it works with firewalls, NAT devices etc....
- Bitlocker Drive Encryption has
been enhanced to support encrypting additional volumes besides the current limitation on the C: volume. It will also support three factor
authentication (i.e. TPM + Pin + Dongle)
- Disk Defragmenter has also been improved to give administrators additional control over what and
when volumes get defragmented with the scheduler
- Support for Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) booting on x64 based machines
- Support for the ExFAT file format used in flash memory
- Support for SD-Advanced DMA
- Improved network diagnostics
- Performance improvements

14.11.2007Windows 7 beta download imminent?
Microsoft have updated their Windows 7 site with a download link for the Windows 7 beta. It would appear from the posting that Microsoft is currently
readying site updates and download servers for the imminent release of the Windows 7 beta. Yesterday, German site Winfuture claimed that the beta
would be released today and this could confirm the sites claims. The download link is currently inaccessible. It's entirely possible that once
the page is live it will simply be a sign up page to register your interest. Microsoft will not comment on the exact date and a Microsoft official
confirmed the beta is still targetted for early 2009.
