ActiveWin.com: Microsoft Windows Vista Build 5270 (December 2005 Community Technical Preview CTP) Screenshots & Features: Activewin has some new screenshots of the latest Vista Build (5270). I installed Vista a while back but found that Media Center was really not stable enough to run. I’m not sure if Media Center is more stable in this version or not. It sounds like both Media Center and WMP have more work before they are ready but that news should be out on both coming out of CES 2006.
From Activewin:
“Windows Media Center. The December CTP includes Windows Media Center, which updates the look and feel of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
