TechThisOut!

It was released earlier on this week to Connect users, and although I am not using it, it sounds good!

There were alot of general bugfixes, and after many requests for this, the “List” view option has been put back.

Several other changes have been made:

• The system clock no longer changes when you set your timezone.
• The behavior of the user accounts has changed considerably, and should make deleting items off your desktop alot easier.

Microsoft plans to release a Windows Driver Kit and Software Development Kit (SDK) aswell as versions of Vista in German and Japanese some time soon.

They are asking all testers to upgrade to this version, doing a fresh install of Vista and hunting for build specific bugs. They are also warning that upgrading may cause some problems, with users being unable to uninstall applications they installed whilst using Vista Beta2. Also, data from Windows Mail will not be migrated to the new bulid, so backing up is strongly advised.

Hopefully all this takes us one step closer to Vista actually being released to comsumers in time for the early 2007 deadline!

Thanks to 2shae for the info!
