For those of us who installed the 5384 that was just released, Is that it
or will we get options of d/l and trying newer versions? If this is what I
have to live with for the next year, I will find as many as I can and then
go back to my XP install. There are too many things wrong (mainly like my
DELL A940 Printer wont load so I cant print anything!). If there are going
to be made available more builds (I have done beta's on 95, 98, Millenium,
XP) I will stick with it and try them all out and report.

thanks!
 
You should check with your printer manufacturer for drivers. Manufacturers
not MS supply drivers.
 
Well, you are only seeing one aspect of the development stage, what
Microsoft wants is feedback on things that are not right in the OS for you
right now. Going back to XP is not going to solve anything when you decide
later in year you might want to move to Vista. At least test the OS now,
send in feedback on whats wrong, at least you will know you got feedback in
and have a likely possibility of seeing it fixed in RC1 or RTM or sometime
after.

If you are using the public beta your next drop will be RC1. It depends on
what program you are in. The TechBeta and TAP folks get refreshes while the
public testers only get milestones.
 
Will the TechBeta folks be able to tell us what fixes and new drivers are
included in the refreshes without violating their NDA?

Probably. Many of them have blogs and comment there.

TechBeta is certainly not under NDA, so that is not an issue. The TAP folks
usually are under some kind of an NDA.
 
There Will Be No More Interim Releases As: The Private Beta Has Been
Superseded By The Public Beta, Just FYI.

The Next Release For Everyone (Except Microsoft Employee's) Is Release
Candidate 1, Which Is Currently Due Out On August 15th, 2006, Also Just FYI.
 
You're welcome. By the way, if you open the Vista Help and Support Center
and navigate to communities you can reach a lot of blogs by choosing
"Windows Vista Resources for IT Pros" under Other Resources in the left pane
below the list of newsgroups. Look for the Windows Vista Team Blog link on
the right under Featured Communities. There is real substance there.
 
Kevin;
That may be what you want, but it does not match past history and I doubt it
will change this time.
The public Beta did not supersede the private Technical Beta since the
Technical Beta is very much alive.

Pleas post your source for:
"The Next Release For Everyone (Except Microsoft Employee's) Is Release
Candidate 1..."
 
Thanks again Mr. B!
