Will 5536 be on MSDN

J

Jason

From what I have been told, MSDN and TechNet Plus will not be getting this build. The next build set for these 2 groups is RC1.
Just wondering if anyone knows if 5536 will be available via MSDN?

It seems not. It also seems crazy that people who pay for MSDN get LESS
access to Vista betas than random poeople selected for the Tech Betas...

It is not reasonable to compare the Technical Beta testers to MSDN/Tech Net
subscribers.
While individuals may have varying agendas, the main purpose of the programs
are very different from the Technical Beta.

Also The Beta testers are not as random as you seem to think.
Deliberately Beta testers are from almost all occupations, countries,
backgrounds etc.

Probably not. I would expect the RC1 when it appears on MSDN will be a
slightly higher build. Look what happened when 5520 was released
internally.

To make matters even more bizzare, this build is on BitTorrent, not that I
would personallu trust anything there, as you don't know what "extras" it
contains. But it does mean that this build is in the wild, withholding it
from MSDN Subscribers only serves to annoy them, and not bother paying
next year...

Mark;
I do not see it as bizarre at all.
What thieves do with something is not relevant.
It is also irrelevant to MSDN/Tech Net subscribers that thieves have posted
something desired.

Just because thieves also post movies and a host of other software has no
relevance to how the legitimate owner deals with his own product.

I would not trust stolen material on such sites for the reasons you
mentioned.

Oh I see. You actually live in a State of Illusion, right?

Same here.

OTOH, has anybody with access to "real" builds ever done a Windiff between
that and some of the more popular ISOs found on BitTorrent or other sources?
