Windows Vista Build 5472 on Microsoft Connect

Yeah basically they are just saying milestone wise 5487 should be next, but by the time that happens the build number should be a bit higher.

I think?

I just put it to the Windows Vista Beta Newsgroup to see what they think...

Thanks any way that has cleared my head...

OK I think I have established what builds are available, to people like myself who are technical beta testers we are on build 5472 interim builds to manufacturers and MSDN Subscribers are on higher builds which is a little unfair, but what the heck at least I was excepted to test Windows Vista. The next available build to technical testers apparently will be 5492. Although this will probably change before it is made avaialbe

Ok.... i'm hoping someone here might be able to help me. as you may know, i've been having trouble getting Vista working on my PC.... since it seems to have a faux second-display theme kinda going on. I've installed vista, lost the display of the setup process after what seemed to be the installation of video drivers (which is what's been happening before), and now, after leaving it sit at the screen with the build info in the bottom right corner, and nothing but black, i have gotten to the point where when i start into Vista, i see a blue orb with the Windows logo in the middle that comes on screen, then fades away, and i'm now left with absolutely nothing but my cursor (if i don't move it to said faux second display) on screen.

Can someone tell me..... exactly what is after the thing with the blue orb with the windows logo? is it the part of the setup process where you set account names, workgroup name, etc... or is it actually when Vista loads and you can login? maybe a screenshot/camera picture could be helpful? really wanna try these builds of Vista, but they just never seem to work for me.
