Yesterday, the WDK EDW Build 5483 was released on connect. According to
Microsoft's website on WDK, the WDK builds should mirror the Vista release.
This is pretty obvious from the previous WDK builds: Beta 2, 5472, and now
5483.

Indeed, the July CTP on MSDN (5472), whilst it has loads of improvements
over Beta, there are some serious regressions. Really hope MSDN gets a
newer build soon, but I really doubt it, based on MS Previous vista
release avalability. :-(

Yeah I am getting a copy from my local PC supplier, they are too busy
to be arsing about with Vista so I am doing the testing for them. 5472
had a lot of improvements but also a lot of problems so you are best
sticking to Beta2 5384 till the RC1 comes out when all the interim
fixes will be amalgamated.

If you are really desperate e mail me

(e-mail address removed)

They are entitled to several copies (so they say), I am pretty sure I
could talk them out of another one.

Build 5472 runs just fine on my Dell XPS 600, just FYI. The only Minor
Problem that I sometimes have is with the File and Printer Sharing
Mechanism, it occasionally tells me that my Home Network is Unavailable,
Just FYI.

This is a clean install. I can't add any additional users. Loads of
Windows services crash when I try to run PuTTY, Sound is busted on the
default HD Audio driver, It's forgotten it's keyboard region a couple of
times!!!

Beta 2 was as slow as old boots, but it was more robust..
