winbeta has just put out win vista sp1 preveiw and I will post a link as soon as I can whole vista client+SP1 http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3768808/Micros...9.DVD.READ.NFO- or this one http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1293021/775222/

Kinda not good to post these but I downloaded them before they're gone

is there a 64bit version too?

no just 32 bit little risk is ok It a beta

A pre-beta build is generally considered to be an Alpha build. Alpha builds are generally considered to be unstable as hell.

So kindly refrain from downplaying the "Risk".

Thank You

I'll wait until sp 1 comes out

These links popped up on my forum, and I almost downloaded them.

I'm waiting on the Final to be released.

These kinds of things used to fire up huge discussions around here. It's so dead nowadays...

In the old days people couldnt wait for something new I was one of them xp build about every 10 days or so w2k spack ect I did hear there is a new build thatis a stand alone that will install on a older vista install hasnt leak yet

MS and EVERYBODY else is trying their best to get SP1 out to fix this P.O.S. OS!!

Still, ain't about to deal with an unofficial P.O.S. SP though!!

Don't be stupid. There are problems, but eventually you are going to have this "POS OS" if you keep using Microsoft products.

I have installed ity 2x now, on the test rig & the problems have been minor

This SP1 pre beta includes Vista so you only have to burn & install the download, both installs only took 23 minutes to hit the desktop after i pressed the 'Next' button (@ advanced/format).

Cool...

Any noticable differences?

Build numbers etc?

Are the problems insignificant enough to load the build on my main desktop?

..........




Minor, but i would not recommend using it on anyone's Main Rig

One only gets a 30 day trial w/ it anyway, haven't tried the 'rearm' tweak yet, as its so easy to dump & install again.

Damn. It looks like it's the waiting game now.

I will be looking for it as soon as it leaks and post a link this is the stand alone Surprisingly, the update file is in the .exe format. Many (including myself) were expecting Microsoft to deliver the update for Vista SP1 in the the new Vista/Server 2008-only .msu format used for current Hotfixes.

New Vista Service Pack 1 Build is Available (somewhere)
Thursday, 23 August 2007

Microsoft is in full throttle with the evolution of Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Having released the first wave of pre-beta builds to a select pool of testers in mid July, the Redmond company is hard at work on the development of the operating system’s first refresh.

A clear indication of this is the fact that a new build of Windows Vista SP1 has shipped to testers. Microsoft however is still mute on the subject and under Sinofsky’s Windows Omerta, codename Translucency. At this point in time the Redmond company failed to officially confirm the new release of Vista SP1. Still, it seems that the fresh stage of the service pack is still in pre-beta phase, and the company delivered no indication pointing to when it plans to move Vista SP1 into beta.

The latest Vista SP1 beta release is build 6.0.6001.16633 (longhorn.070803-1655), according to Mary Jo Foley. Outside of the build number there is actually very scarce information available about this release. Undoubtedly, as the fresh Vista SP1 version will be dropped in the laps of more and more users additional details will leak. The previous release of the service pack made it clear that leaks are inherent, as Windows Omerta is not in effect outside of Redmond. One aspect seems to be clear though, the new pre-beta build of Vista SP1 is a standalone .EXE installer.

With the initial versions of SP1 released to testers Microsoft choose to deliver an ISO containing the entire operating system, with the service pack installed on top. The full build tag of the first Vista SP1 was 6001.16549.070628-1825. Microsoft had to face not only a feast of information about the 6001.16549 after the July availability but also leaks of the actual pre-beta version of the service pack to torrent trackers. The Company failed to react in any manner to the fact that Vista SP1 6001.16549 was offered for download via peer-to-peer file sharing networks. The only difference is that with the new release, Microsoft scrapped the 3+ GB ISO file in favor of an executable file with the Vista SP1.
