Re: current build of vista

The latest build in use by the TechBeta testers is 5456 (aka "July drop").
Much later builds are in use internally at MS and by selected partners.

New builds are built overnight each night at MS.

There will be a TechBeta drop in August but it will not be RC1. The date of
release of RC1 is not known, even by MS at this point. No one will know the
build number of RC1 until RC1 is announced as available.

The nightly build process just keeps going right up until RTM approximately
six months from now.

I suspect the release build will be something like 56xx.
