Windows Vista Build 5536 Released to Beta Testers
Windows Vista, it surely has disappointed Microsoft fans upto some extent because of the delays and cutting it’s features down in order to get it shipped in time & Microsoft not able to come up with what they promised. The biggest of them is SPEED. I don’t think the testers are happy with it’s LAGGING behind part mostly. I was reading few days ago somewhere, some well known guy (SOME because I don’t remember!) had written that he was told about the upcoming Vista build, which will be released to testers and it is very promising, meant to say that it will be a build which testers are looking forward to from Microsoft and will be somewhat if not completely to their expectations.

Build 5536 is a Pre-RC1 release to testers. It surely will reflect what’s coming up in the RC1 of Vista. I wish I were part of this beta! Here are some screenshots:
