Windows Vista July CTP (build 5472.5) あれこれ

Tom Archer's Blog より*1．

Vista July CTP は MSDN Subscriber Downloads に登場予定

Note: As noted below, the July CTP for Windows Vista will be published to MSDN subscribers. However, as of this writing it is still going through the publishing cycle. I'll update this page when it is available for download from MSDN - likely to be sometime later this week.

だそうです．beta 2 (5384.4) から改善されているところが結構ありますので，今から試すなら July CTP がおすすめかも知れません．

ということで，ベータテストに参加していない人はもう少し待ちましょう．

各 CTP と開発ツール対応関係

ついでに，Vista の各 build と SDK / 開発ツール周りの対応関係も示されています．
July CTP 向けには "Orcas" Tools for .NET 3.0 はリリースされないようなので，LINQ 系で遊びたい人は別のバージョンを使った方が良さそうです．
しかし，.NET 3.0 Runtime Components のビルドナンバーの上がり方すごいですな．1日平均何回フルビルドしてるんだろ？
