The December Microsoft Windows Vista Community Technology Preview (CTP) is the third in a series of early Windows Vista builds being released to an extensive technical community. The CTP program is designed to involve customers and partners in the various stages of Windows Vista development by facilitating timely and relevant feedback.
Build 5270 was signed off as the code ready for beta testers and MSDN customers for the December CTP. After no November CTP there should be a few surprises and additions from the last build that testers have used (5231).
Microsoft is on schedule to have the majority of Windows Vista features code-complete by the end of 2005, and the CTP program will help enable
Microsoft to provide testers with a feature-complete version of the product sooner than for any previous Windows release.
The December CTP will be distributed to testers in the Windows Vista Technical Beta Program, and is available to more than half a million Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet subscribers. The December CTP offers developers, IT professionals, and Windows enthusiasts an opportunity to review and test some of the operating system's significant security and performance enhancements and innovations. It also showcases progress on the overall user experience and design elements in Windows Vista.
