_22281.dvd is the last CTP build, not the Beta 3 build. It hasn't been released yet. There are no posts on Connect, and no posts in the newsgroups. I don't think aeroxp knows what they're talking about.

That's what it looks like.  But it seems the primary version "6001" hasen't changed at all.

6001 is not the build number for Longhorn. Vista is 6000 and Longhorn will always be 6001. Not really a build number anymore though. It's more like an OS version, kinda like WinNT 5.0, WinNT 5.1, WinNT 5.2, WinNT 6.0, WinNT 6.1, WinNT 7, etc.

Longhorn Server Beta3 is Build:         16510
Longhorn Server April CTP is Build:     16497

So beta 3 is only 13 new builds over April CTP.
