Windows 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.

Back 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 Endorses Product That Turns Off Vista UAC Nags

The latest version of a well-reviewed third-party security policy enhancement system for Windows Vista claims to solve what its manufacturer characterizes as "not a secure solution" to a critical problem Windows historically had with administrator privileges on programs. But in the announcement of the upgrade earlier this week, a key Microsoft product manager is quoted as having acknowledged Vista's own take on the solution was not quite enough, effectively reversing his company's stand on User Account Control.



The product is BeyondTrust Privilege Manager 3.5, and its key new feature is the ability to run Vista's UAC transparently without prompting the user for privilege elevation. In Monday's press release, Microsoft director of client security product management Austin Wilson is quoted as not only endorsing the product, but appearing to agree with BeyondTrust's key contention: that the UAC prompts were not only a nag but an insecure solution in itself.

PDC 2007 Cancelled

Microsoft announced late on Thursday May 24 that it has cancelled the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) that was slated for this October.

Microsoft said it had decided to “reschedule” the event to some unspecified future date. The http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en- us/events/bb288534.aspx>notice of the cancellation is on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:

“As the PDC is the definitive developer event focused on the future of the Microsoft platform, we try to align it to be in front of major platform milestones. By this fall, however, upcoming platform technologies including Windows Server 2008, SQL Server codenamed ‘Katmai,’ Visual Studio codenamed ‘Orcas’ and Silverlight will already be in developers’ hands and approaching launch, which is where we’ll focus our developer engagement in the near term. We will update this site when we have a new date for the PDC that is better timed with the next wave of platform technologies.”
