The Microsoft Windows Vista April CTP will be shipped "within a week."
This comes from a reliable source, and we have yet to be wrong.<\/p>\n

What this build will<\/strong> be: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Most features are those of the interim non-CTP build 5342 (announced here<\/a>, complete with list of upcoming features in future builds!); <\/li>\n
  2. This build is reported to be "easier on the eyes…" is this a reference to the new Glass<\/a>? We don't know, but either way, it sounds great!<\/li>\n
  3. Most changes are the bug fixes. Now that Vista has reached (more or less) code-complete status, each build is expected to be progressively more stable, faster & more responsive to the touch, and more of a "real" OS.<\/li>\n
  4. It will contain an almost final version of Internet Explorer 7. Slight GUI changes may follow, but the code is all there, and mostly bug-free!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What the April CTP won't<\/strong> be: <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. If you can't tell by the name, the April CTP will not be "Beta 2" <\/li>\n
    2. This build won't be 5355 either, that one is, and I quote, "ancient."<\/li>\n
    3. It most certainly isn't a public release, sorry!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
