Windows "Microsoft has officially released Windows Vista Build 5381.1 today on Microsoft Connect. Internal sources have confirmed that this is 'what will be' Beta 2 - in a couple more days at WinHEC 2006. What we are seeing right now with this build is a feature complete Beta without the performance guarantee. If you want to put it in terms of practical use, etc. this is Beta 2; it will be compiled and recompiled several more times, mini-glitches taken care of, size and speed optimized, and maybe a couple of minor things changed, but for all intents and purposes, those of us that have been dying for another beta ever since the first; it's here." Update: Err, an update.

I'm not sure about "staggeringly beautiful," but it certainly looks pretty nice. However:

* The whole translucancy thing with windows is rather distracting I find

* Yes the design is nice, but why suddenly make the EQ sliders in green when every other widget is blue?
