Vista build 5308.60

Is there any truth in the stories circulating that there was a newer "trunk
build 60" released to beta testers to fix major memory leak issues with
build 5308.11 (build 5308 trunk 11)?

But does this build .60 increase general overall peformance at
all...literally?

Well... Andre's right to some degree yeh, however a .60 release was set on
Connect a few days after the original .17 release because some people had
major troubles installing onto partitions and having general errors with
Setup - so yeh that's the main reason why they re-released it because
simply, a lot of people couldn't even install it.

Pretty much no performance issues will be made until Beta 2/April CTP.

Thanks Zack & Andre,

I gave up with build 5270 as I couldn't get it installed onto a dual-boot
partition with XP with error after error during install.

I managed to get build 5308.17 installed at about the 3rd attempt, so .60
will be of no benefit to me if I've read your info correct.

I thought I read that .60 may sort out some of the memory-leak issues which
are causing this build to be so slow, even on a high-spec machine.

Thanks.

Hi Guys
Is there a site where a person can download Vista ?
Is the beta version free for download.
Just trying to learn about Beta versions.

The only site where you can download Vista betas legally is MSDN /
Microsoft Connect.
Every non-Microsoft site allowing you to download Vista should not
exist, well, they're not authorized.
The beta is "free", it just needs you to have a MSDN subscription
including MS OSes (which is not free, of course)

You obtain it through the following channels:

I don't know about discounts, that was Windows XP, this is Windows Vista,
times change.

The April CTP should be a Public release which should be available under
Customer Preview Program free of charge or at a nominal fee for those who
want to receive it on media. I am sure some time during the beta and leading
up to and after RTM, there will be numerous online web cast discussing
Windows Vista. So, you just have to be patient.
