Windows Vista build 5472 is a pre-RC1 build of Windows Vista, released to beta testers on 17 July 2006.

Changes

• Certain applications such as Windows Media Center have received design updates.

• The Digital Identities feature was renamed to Windows Cardspace.

Bugs and quirks

Graphics driver

The default VGA graphics adapter is very buggy, often having the screen flicker through resolutions and cannot have resolutions higher than 800x600 pixels. However, if you upgrade from a previous build, you can have 1024x768 and higher.

Branding

Like in build 5456, winver and System Properties incorrectly refer a "Service Pack 0 v."

Shutdown

When shutting down, the sound will only play for a quarter of a second.

Upgrade

The wallpaper gets changed to img22 when upgrading from Windows XP, Windows Vista build 5384 or build 5456. This bug persists until build 5840.16384.
