Microsoft posted yet another new Vista test build on September 22. The newest - build 5728 - is only available (so far, at least) to technical beta testers and participants in Microsoft's Technology Adoption Program, testers said. The build follows on the heels of Vista Release Candidate 1, which Microsoft began distributing exactly three weeks ago, on September 1.

Whats your problem? Few months ago There were 5 ubuntu articles a day. For awhile Haiku was getting a TON of articles a day and so was skyos. It goes in spurts.
Some people like knowing when a new build of an OS they are following is released.
Why do people that 'couldn't care less' feel the need to even comment on it?

Yes, exactly! A bit too much!
"Why do people that 'couldn't care less' feel the need to even comment on it?"
Well, because it really is too much. No trolling intended, but the linked article has absolutely NO information about this new build, except it has been released and a selected number of people are downloading it for testing.

I could understand if there was any real information, but again, there isn't any.

How so? it informs people like me that a new test has been released, so maybe soon we'll hear from some of the people blessed enough to receive the update, information on what has been changed/added/removed.

I agree. I had RC1 on my system for about 4 hours. I found it to be nothing like the glowing reviews found at various pundit sites. The new file manager/explorer was crashing constantly, the boot and shut down times were abysmal, the much touted Aero interface was such a letdown. On top of that, I installed office 2007 with the beta 2 technical refresh. What a crashing pig that is. I am not the ultimate Excel guru but I know my way around it and the VBA language, and wow what a mess it turned out to be loading/upgrading and tweaking some of my more complex sheets. I am so utterly dejected by the whole thing, I just got XP back up and running this PM. I really think Vista is going to be a dog.

What does build 5728 means in comparision with 5600 for RC1 does it mean it was totally compiled 128 times with more bugs fixed, or what exactly?! I have no clue to this!
Is the final version RTM carries the build number 5600 or 5800, or another value?
Does this also mean that we are going to have RC2?
I wish someone sure about this elaborate.

You can now download it, without being a member of MSDN, CPP, TAP.
