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.

and that problem with java is something they probably even could solve withouth any hard work, but probably chose just to ignore it as MS usually has the NIH syndrome.
Sun's Java implementation was just like many other applications, suffering from incompatibilities introduced in Vista, some of the raising from underdocumented Win32/Gdi/DirectX interfaces (people were using them in a way they were not supposed to, and it worked prior to Vista).
MS did solve some problems which were genuine Vista bugs, but most of them had to be worked around in Java implementation.
