Hey, before anyone gets excited... build 5355 is "another run of the day" build from about a week ago... nothing too exciting regarding the number. The screenshots are certainly cool, but it won't be the next build :o)

There doesn't appear to be anything in it that is materially different from 5342.

As Zack previously mentined: This is just another one of those Nightly Builds that will never see the Light of Day.

New display pictures (but even then, mostly just placeholders until they put the new wallpapers/display pictures in at RC0) - categorisation of searches into different file types, Aero Glass improved transparency, small tweaks in terms of menu bars and added graphics to accompany Glass, added Glass areas in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer so it looks more streamlined, not to mention performance has been improved for background services running.
But still, 5355 is just a daily build of which was internally built about a week ago now. They're probably on the 536* builds now.

I'm surprised anyone talks about wallpaper images in the same breath as features.

Most of what you just said is from your imagination, this is just another daily build Evaluation copy Build 5355.vbl_media_ehome.060130-2100

Ahh now that has to be true, based on the fact that 5342 has been improved dramatically and the fact that Media Centers (of which the build derived from, the Media Center group) needs lots of power to get going.
And even then, one line of what I said means that "most of what you just said is from your imagination"? Everyone has different levels with the beta teams - some people only file bugs, some people are practically working for Microsoft themselves... but I do know that performance has been a key issue that they want to address, and performance will only get better on in from 5342 :o)

Well, I can't tell that performance has been improved from looking at 5355. Yes, 5342 is more responsive, not specifically from running MCE in it though, it boggs down my system when I try to run it along with other applications, not as the Media Center itself. Start up time has dropped also, I notice a delay just reaching the Splash screen alone, it takes about 2 mins to boot up. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Where can I download any build newer than 5308? I have been fighting with this thing for three days now - keeps bluescreening, and the "helpful" debugging windows say "This will be fixed in a future build". I am an MSDN subscriber, but have found no mention of any more recent builds except here in this forum.

The only available build more recent is 5342, which I think is available to MSDN subscribers as well as those on the private beta.
You will still be fighting many of the same issues in 5342.

Build 5432 is ONLY available to technical testers :o( Sorry but MSDN and TechNet Plus can't get this build :o(

The only available build more recent is 5342, which I think is available to MSDN subscribers as well as those on the private beta.
You will still be fighting many of the same issues in 5342.

Sorry, you have the latest build available MSDN Subscribers. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Build 5432 is ONLY available to technical testers :o( Sorry but MSDN and TechNet Plus can't get this build :o(

5342, not 5432 (don't start a stampede of new requests!!).
Ah yes, I remember now, it was released early to private NG readers before being publicised more widely, but the launch email says:
5342 is not:
· A CTP or IDW build and will not be released to MSDN.
· Upgradeable from any other build, Windows XP or Vista.
· Available in any other version besides Ultimate.
· Tested to the degree that a CTP build is though we believe the quality to be high.

Yep, I have seen this build, not used it, I have seen it at a conference that I am at right now.

Breath Zack :). I know he can be a bit much. Sometimes to much. I am almost to the point of blocking him completely myself if he keeps it up.
