Microsoft says it will be releasing an interim build of Windows vista.

[Quote Paul Thurrott]
According to my sources, Microsoft will soon ship an unexpected "refresh
build" of Windows Vista to its technical beta testers and some corporate
customers. Previously, the company had been shipping only semi-monthly
Community Technical Preview (CTP) builds of Vista to testers and other
audiences, including MSDN subscribers. The refresh build is currently build
5342, I'm told. It will require different product keys than the previous
CTP.

Without a reference of the specific source, it is Paul who says and not
Microsoft.

Sounds like a possible dry run before the next CTP which should be BETA 2
which could be Public. I would not be surprised, smart move.

If you read the News Story on Neowin.net, it says:

This just in from Wininformant:

According to my sources, Microsoft will soon ship an unexpected "refresh
build" of Windows Vista to its technical beta testers and some corporate
customers. Previously, the company had been shipping only semi-monthly
Community Technical Preview (CTP) builds of Vista to testers and other
audiences, including MSDN subscribers. The refresh build is currently build
5342, I'm told. It will require different product keys than the previous
CTP.

It's unclear why Microsoft has chosen to ship a Vista refresh build at this
time, though I'm told the company is using it as a testing board for the
extensive feedback they've gotten since the last CTP, which was issued in
February. According to my sources, the refresh build will not meet CTP
quality measurements, and will ship only in the Vista Ultimate edition, for
both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) systems.
Microsoft originally expected to ship a CTP build in April, though that
release could slip until May, according to sources. That CTP should be made
available to the public via Web downloads.


Note two things about this report: The Build is NOT a CTP (which
means that it will be released to TAP Beta Tester's Only), and that Beta 2
might be Delayed until May 2006 (I hope that this report is incorrect, so
that Beta 2 can still be released on April 12th, 2006).

It's my understanding that even Microsoft says this source is wrong more
times than he's right. So, I'll just wait until it happens; that is, if it
does.
