Windows The next beta version of Microsoft's operating system is expected in November. The new beta version of Vista will have its graphic component a little bit readier than before as it's already time to start working on a user interface and the gaming part of the API.

A good reason to wait:
1) How do you know that this image isn't trojaned?

Also that image is not Beta 2, and is likely an interim build. There is no Beta 2 until MS signs off on a build meeting their goals for that milestone.

From what I remember; beta 2 will have the majority of features added to it, for testing. There will be some major changes in this release.

Now on a side note; all these new features are going to be system taxing. I cannot wait for the reviews.

What's more interesting is the prize indication of the eventually released version.I think they have to considerably drop the prizes.

Stop reading slashdot and you might realize Vista is not Server 2003 with "some fancy UI".

Does the beta version include an //s4 key too or just the full release? I wonder if they get a pretty login prompt.

Oh.

Wait.

Vista will be closed source, right?

Guess we'll have to wait for freedom lovers to tell us.

However, you should have registered, so at least we knew who you were.

When the mass doesn't use the product you think they should, they are sheep.

Go waste your time trying to to get easy stuff to run on linux. Please just go away and I am being nice.

It's every single day people have to put up with these morons. Every single day!

If you don't like windows, run something else and quit your bitching, nobody else wants to hear you moan because linux won't work with your printer.

STFU and use the OS of your choice. Nobody else cares about your OS choice either, get over it.
