Will the public beta be the same build (5384.4)?

I'm not seeing hardly any difference (if any) between builds 5381.1 and
5384.4.
Surely we're not going to turn build 5384.4 (as is) loose on the public
are we (it might scare the kids!)?
Seeing as how it'll be weeks before the public build is released, we
will give it a "once over' and incorporate, fix and modify it right?
Or am I dreaming...?
Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

I am sure they are working on issues every day and will send it out with
whatever fixes they have tested.
Changes from now on won't be so much in what you can see right off, it's
more of getting the things under the hood to work properly.

I hope that they wait until RC 1, for the Public Release, just FYI.
Otherwise, these Newsgroups will be flooded with people crying for help with
their Beta 2 Problems, also just FYI.

I am afraid not, the 5384.4 build is BETA 2, I think they want some thorough
feed back from the Public before they release anything new to the public.
5381 was released almost 3 weeks ago, not much has changed really, 5384 will
be released to the public 3 weeks from now, I don't think you will see much
changes or fixes even then if a new build was released.

Being part of the public, anyone brave enough to install Vista is not a kid.
Beta's are just that, a BET with the letter A at the end. Come to think of
it Vista has an A at the end.
This newsgroup has .public as part of the name.
I try to find and fix problems by myself if I can, it's the only way to
learn.
As a last resort I use a newsgroup and for the most part they have been
helpful.
I'll bet that when Vista reaches RTM there will still be bugs!

That doesn't rhyme, but 'giraffe' does end in an 'e' if that counts.

There aren't many - performance has been improved and the setup has been
tweaked so that it runs more efficiently. Nothing major, I'll grant you
that, but it's stated a "beta 2" because they're happy to say that this
build has enough bugs fixed and enough runtime to work properly and can be
used without too much of a problem even in a production environment.

Can't see any appreciable difference between the two builds. It's still
2 1/2 hours to install on a 2.00GHz tablet. Everything I bugged wrong
with 5381 (and most of what I bugged with 5308 or 5365) is still not fixed.

There is one place where it's worse. I can't pick up my wireless network
(others are visible) but if I boot into XP then it's fine.
