Windows Vista CTP 2

Microsoft is poised to release to testers the second Community Technology Preview (CTP) release of Windows Vista, paving the way for a second full-fledged beta, which is now expected in December.

Among the new features which could find their way into the updated build are a number of Internet Explorer 7.0 enhancements; the resurrected "Sidebar" task pane; Windows Media Player 11.0; and new networking functionality.

Robert McLaws, president of Interscape Technologies, said that Microsoft released CTP 2 of Vista on Thursday night. "Build 5231 (aka Windows Vista October CTP), compiled on Oct 4, 2005, was posted to the Connect website a short while ago," McLaws said.

Other beta testers said they did not see the CTP 2 on Microsoft's private Connect testers' site. But Windows expert Ed Bott clarified that the new CTP 2 build was apparently made available to members of Microsoft's Technical Adoption Program (TAP) elite beta-test program, and not to all Connect members.(continue at source)
