Microsoft will release just
one more build of Windows Vista for testing before the code goes gold, said Brad Goldberg, the general manager for the Windows client business group. That build will be made available to a limited group of between 50000 and 100000 testers in October, and follows the interim Vista build that Microsoft released on Sept. 22. Elsewhere, people noticed that Java applications
use the standard (effect-less) Aero interface, instead of the finacy shiny bling-bling Aero Glass.

It's almost hard to believe that that's it. Five years, and this is what we're left with. The registry is still there, the broken filesystem layout is still there, the control panel is now a link-spam blog with endless recursive links, the UAC has OCD and the themes are having identity crises.
There's some nice new things in Vista we can all look forward to, but overal, I feel as if a great opportunity was missed somewhere.
