HAL in Vista (testing puropses)

Some hours ago I remembered a phrase which I had read many months ago somewhere occult in the net about earlier builds of Windows Vista still supporting the good old Hardware Abstraction Layer of the windows XP days.
At the beginning I tried to focus on the Release to Manufacturer edition.. but then I realized the fateful audio stack change must have happened before [build 5209] (before even beta2 then).

Thanks to italian wikipedia (I really don't know why it's not there on the english one) I could go backwards in time with code revisions.
I may have possibly pinpointed the right one here (build 5112). Luckily some versions around that were leaked (or distributed to msdn subscribers)

They'll all be hopefully available on BetaArchive or WinWorld eventually, for a test someday

EDIT: or perhaps the breakage was even earlier. Not surprisingly I guess, considering the thing was hinted at WinHEC 2004
