Mary Jo Foley: Microsoft provided attendees of its Professional Developer Conference this week with a 160 GB drive full of bits and resources. The

(The Windows 7 build attendees got is
the September build 6801 that leaked out a month ago. The new taskbar and
quite a bit of the other eye candy Microsoft showed off during the October 28 PDC keynote aren’t part of the pre-beta build.)

04.12.2008Windows Vista Build 5219 to be
released at MS PDC
Microsoft will tomorrow
release a refreshed build of
Windows Vista at it's
Professional Developer's
Conference.
Thi
s build is 5219.
No. It is not
Beta 2. No. It is not Beta 1.
Yes. It is newer than Beta
1. It is a pre-beta-2 build.
Screenshots leaked
onto the internet earlier
today have led people to
erroneously claim that the
5219 build compiled on 050824
(24 August, 2005) is the build
that will be released at
PDC.
This is
untrue. Contrary to popular
belief, every new build
generated is not necessarily
automatically incremented by
1. If this were true, the
correct 5219 build (more on
that below) would have been
one compiled before 050824.
Thus the 5219 050824 build
would not exist. We have
confirmed that the 0824 build
is a legitimate build which
was issued to OEM partners for
testing. Did you leak these
screenshots IBM as you did the
screenshots of the 5203 build?
Build 5219
compiled on 050830 (30 August
2005) is the one that will be
released at PDC.
How is that
possible? Simple. Microsoft
compiled mutiple builds of
5219 over the period of at
least a week before finally
declaring 050830 as the final
build for
5219.
Among the
changes from 0824 to 0830 is
the fact that the sidebar
visible in 0824 has been
removed in the 0830 build.

installation type

13.09.2005Back from the PDCnext up, WinHEC
Steven Sinofsky: This has been an amazingly special week for the Windows 7 team. Were all incredibly appreciative of the reception of Windows 7 this
week at the PDC. Thank you!
All of us on the team have been closely watching the news reports and blogs of those who have been
kicking the tires of the Windows 7 pre-beta. The reception has been fantastic and were humbled by the excitement and enthusiasm for the release.
We know we have a ton of work ahead of us to get to beta and then the path to RTM, and the reception has definitely given us an extra special
motivation (though we were already pretty motivated).

Microsoft isnt going to show Windows 7 to attendees of the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles until Tuesday, October 28. But new
info about whats part of the pre-beta build that will be provided to show-goers is beginning to trickle out.
"According to a variety of
sources, the build that will be distributed at PDC and, a week-plus later, at the companys Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) will
be one of the M3 (Milestone 3) builds. Like the build that leaked in September, this will be a 6801 numbered build, sources say. But it doesnt seem
to be the same one I saw a few weeks back. UX Evangelist blogger Stephen Chapman says it will likely be a 6801 M3 build which Microsoft finalized on
October 20."

15.09.2005Windows 7 pre-beta build is 6801
Microsoft announced the availability of a critical security patch
yesterday affecting a
variety of Windows operating systems.
Interestingly, the Windows 7 pre-beta build, which will be available to developers next Tuesday, also
contains the bug. Microsoft stated "Customers running Windows 7 Pre-Beta are encouraged to download and apply the update to their systems. On Windows
7 Pre-Beta systems, the vulnerable code path is only accessible to authenticated users. This vulnerability is not liable to be triggered if the
attacker is not authenticated, and therefore would be rated Important."
In a
support article Microsoft details some Windows 7 Pre-Beta file information notes. The build string on the notes is
6.1.6801.4106, the same build string that has been
screenshotted recently.
It is
believed that the 6801 build is a
milestone 3 (M3) build released to select customers and partners over the last few months.
Microsoft will be releasing the build to
attendees at their
professional developers conference next Tuesday.

Seems as if Microsoft is planning a little Christmas present for all its users with Windows 7 Beta 1 on track to be released a week before Christmas.
Nothing is written in stone or been officially announced as of yet but inside sources are reporting December for the launch. Microsoft is planning on
a Connect Beta program for Windows 7 so testers keep your eyes open for something to come in the following months involving a possible beta.
When we release the Windows 7 beta we will also be collecting feedback from this (Windows Feedback) panel and asking for participation from a
set of Windows 7 beta users.Our current plans call for signing up for the beta to happen in the standard Microsoft manner on Connect. Stay tuned!
