Looks like 5920, not 5840 is the one - but they change so often who knows?
Does NOT inspire confidence.

On the Road to RTM
According to my Microsoft sources, the current internal Vista build is now 6.0.5920.16384. Whenever Microsoft finalizes Vista--and I'm told it will be on or before November 8--the company will artificially increment the build number to 6000, as in "6.0," which is Vista's version number (aka Windows 6.0). Come on, admit it: You knew Microsoft would pull something silly like that.
Motion Desktop a Go for Ultimate Extras
The good folks at AeroXperience got a nice scoop recently: They discovered one of the mysterious Ultimate Extras that Microsoft will provide to Vista Ultimate customers starting in early January 2007. It's called Motion Desktop, and it's basically a way to animate the Windows desktop background. There will be a handful of Motion Desktops, including one that looks like the Vista "aurora" pattern that will be the default static desktop for all Vista users. Seems like a nifty idea. And it raises an interesting concern: In the past, all Windows users could buy a Plus! pack to get interesting additional features. With Vista, it seems as if the Plus! packs are gone, replaced by Ultimate Extras, which are available only to users who fork out money for the most expensive Vista version. Does this development upset anyone else?
