Windows Vista build 5342.2

Windows Vista build 5342.2 is the official February CTP Refresh build of Windows Vista, which was released to beta testers on 24 March 2006. It is the final build to include the wallpapers and user icons from Windows XP.

Setup
Setup is mostly similar to aforementioned builds of Vista, asides from the smaller watermark on the setup autorun and this build's watermark no longer displaying. The fonts used on the installation type page are also much richer.

Upon booting into the second stage of setup, the  boot screen appears with the message that Windows is setting up your computer, which was found in the pre-reset builds (up to build 4074) of Windows Longhorn.

Control Panel

 * Control Panel layout has slightly changed with new text on the Category View and removed icons from the Classic view.
 * "Ease of Access" was renamed to "Ease of Access Center" and received an interface overhaul.
 * In the Programs category, the "Installed Updates" section now uses a unique Windows Update icon rather than the "Installed Programs" icon.
 * Color Management no longer has a "General" tab.

Miscellaneous

 * The "How to Share Feedback" link has been renamed to "Feedback"

Installation

 * Although this build can partition properly during setup, the partitioning page doesn't refresh properly, requiring you to reboot your system in order to see the new partition.
 * Installing the x86 architecture of this build on hypervisors can result in high instability, most likely due to the disk controller. Installing this build on VMware will lead to an "unexpected error" upon booting into setup, while on VirtualBox it will lead to high instability issues, however it is possible to install without any modifications. The out-of-box experience is also incredibly unstable and can crash quite easily.
