Vista is all the rage at the moment (and now even the Sunday Eve Column is about it). I don't think there's a single piece of beta software that has ever been discussed as much as Windows Vista. Obviously this makes sense, since Windows powers roughly 95% of the world's desktop computers; hence an update to that system will surely spark some heavy debates. Personally, I'm indifferent towards Vista. Read on for why.

hard to tell realy. only thing that i have picked up so far is that its using managed code for the whole system (iirc).
still, that could make backwards compatiblity simpler. in that when a program askes for a old interface, it will be handed over to a special sandbox where it can go nuts. but if it dies, nothing will happen to the rest of the system...
