I'm calling you out mother****er, shens shens and more ****ing shens.
build 5840 is pre-RTM... not RTM. Read the mother****ing label mother****er.
Pfft... I have more than that on other HDDs =D those are my active games. Every so often I start playing an oldie though e.g. was playing wolfie at a LAN hence it's position on the desktop of power (H).
"Yesterday torrent files of Microsoft latest Windows Vista build 5840 started appearing and spreading, today it is popping up on Usenet.
Build 5840 is the build that currently is in Escrow, meaning that it is the candidate to become the Golden build (RTM)
5744 is the latest build that is released to testers, Technet, MSDN and limited CTP.
5808 is the latest build that is released to TAP customers.
5824 was the previous build that was in Escrow but that failed last week.
JUST IN FROM Paul Thurrott: the current internal build of Windows Vista is now 6.0.5920.16384. Whenever Microsoft does finalize Vista--and I'm told it will be on or before November 8--they will artificially increment the build number to 6000, as in "6.0," which is Vista's version number (aka Windows 6.0).
