"Head over to Charlie's blog - he takes some time going over the Windows Vista UI and highlights some major improvements to the UI
users should find to their liking. He uses screenshots from Build 5355 to support his statements. You can see the use of a new
background and user image on the Start Menu in this build. Look even closer and you may notice a few other things as well."

Cheers, Roman

Hey, before anyone gets excited... build 5355 is "another run of the day"
build from about a week ago... nothing too exciting regarding the number.
The screenshots are certainly cool, but it won't be the next build :blush:)

There doesn't appear to be anything in it that is materially different
from 5342.

As Zack previously mentined: This is just another one of those Nightly
Builds that will never see the Light of Day.

New display pictures (but even then, mostly just placeholders until they put
the new wallpapers/display pictures in at RC0) - categorisation of searches
into different file types, Aero Glass improved transparency, small tweaks in
terms of menu bars and added graphics to accompany Glass, added Glass areas
in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer so it looks more streamlined, not
to mention performance has been improved for background services running.

But still, 5355 is just a daily build of which was internally built about a
week ago now. They're probably on the 536* builds now.

I'm surprised anyone talks about wallpaper images in the same breath as
features.

I hope you didn't mean me Andre :blush:( I was just observing what I saw from the
screenshots on that site.

Ahh now that has to be true, based on the fact that 5342 has been improved
dramatically and the fact that Media Centers (of which the build derived
from, the Media Center group) needs lots of power to get going.

And even then, one line of what I said means that "most of what you just
said is from your imagination"? Everyone has different levels with the beta
teams - some people only file bugs, some people are practically working for
Microsoft themselves... but I do know that performance has been a key issue
that they want to address, and performance will only get better on in from
5342 :blush:)

Well, I can't tell that performance has been improved from looking at 5355.
Yes, 5342 is more responsive, not specifically from running MCE in it
though, it boggs down my system when I try to run it along with other
applications, not as the Media Center itself. Start up time has dropped
also, I notice a delay just reaching the Splash screen alone, it takes about
2 mins to boot up.

What's the WinSAT rating on the computer you're testing?

Where can I download any build newer than 5308? I have been fighting with
this thing for three days now - keeps bluescreening, and the "helpful"
debugging windows say "This will be fixed in a future build". I am an MSDN
subscriber, but have found no mention of any more recent builds except here
in this forum.

The only available build more recent is 5342, which I think is available
to MSDN subscribers as well as those on the private beta.

You will still be fighting many of the same issues in 5342.

5342, not 5432 (don't start a stampede of new requests!!).

Ah yes, I remember now, it was released early to private NG readers
before being publicised more widely, but the launch email says:

5342 is not:


· A CTP or IDW build and will not be released to MSDN.

· Upgradeable from any other build, Windows XP or Vista.

· Available in any other version besides Ultimate.

· Tested to the degree that a CTP build is though we believe the quality
to be high.
