New interim VIsta build to be released

Microsoft says it will be releasing an interim build of Windows vista.
[Quote Paul Thurrott] According to my sources, Microsoft will soon ship an unexpected "refresh build" of Windows Vista to its technical beta testers and some corporate customers. Previously, the company had been shipping only semi-monthly Community Technical Preview (CTP) builds of Vista to testers and other audiences, including MSDN subscribers. The refresh build is currently build 5342, I'm told. It will require different product keys than the previous CTP. [/Quote]

Without a reference of the specific source, it is Paul who says and not Microsoft.

Sounds like a possible dry run before the next CTP which should be BETA 2 which could be Public. I would not be surprised, smart move. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

If you read the News Story on Neowin.net, it says:
This just in from Wininformant:
According to my sources, Microsoft will soon ship an unexpected "refresh build" of Windows Vista to its technical beta testers and some corporate customers. Previously, the company had been shipping only semi-monthly Community Technical Preview (CTP) builds of Vista to testers and other audiences, including MSDN subscribers. The refresh build is currently build 5342, I'm told. It will require different product keys than the previous CTP.
It's unclear why Microsoft has chosen to ship a Vista refresh build at this time, though I'm told the company is using it as a testing board for the extensive feedback they've gotten since the last CTP, which was issued in February. According to my sources, the refresh build will not meet CTP quality measurements, and will ship only in the Vista Ultimate edition, for both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) systems. Microsoft originally expected to ship a CTP build in April, though that release could slip until May, according to sources. That CTP should be made available to the public via Web downloads.
Note two things about this report: The Build is NOT a CTP (which means that it will be released to TAP Beta Tester's Only), and that Beta 2 might be Delayed until May 2006 (I hope that this report is incorrect, so that Beta 2 can still be released on April 12th, 2006).

It's my understanding that even Microsoft says this source is wrong more times than he's right. So, I'll just wait until it happens; that is, if it does.
