final build number

Anyone care to guess what the final build number will be? A nice round number like XP's 2600 I reckon :-)

10^100. Oh no! that's...<gurgle>

A googolplex? :)
In mathematics, a googol is the name of the number 10 to the 100th power (a 1 with 100 zeroes). A googolplex is an even larger number, (a 1 with a googol zeroes).

I want to know is what happens to all those builds we never hear about ....

What did Microsoft do with Builds 1 to 5383? What items go into a specific build? I'm sure they don't include the apps like Notepad, right?

I tested a number of the builds between 1 and 5384. The interim builds like 5270, 5308, etc were "drops" available to the TechBeta folks. Most of the builds in between are available to MS employees from the internal servers.

Well 2600 was XP.
The ones not heard about are not usually not worth looking at, or are very close to released builds.

Why would they take the basic apps like Notepad out of the interim builds? They're all part of the internal daily builds...
