Windows In late October, Microsoft announced the beta of the second service pack for Windows Vista and Server 2008. This beta was limited in audience, and today Microsoft has fixed that: it opened up the beta for MSDN and TechNet subscribers, and coming Thursday, it will be opened to the general public. The releases will be distributed via TechNet.

Gee, I don't know. Perhaps by adding some of the features that Vista missed out on?


Sorry, but that doesn't address the question I put.

Here ... I'll ask it again ... "If Microsoft fix Vista, then why would you buy Windows 7?"

You actually gave me a reason for buying Windows 7 if Microsoft DON'T fix Vista.

... assuming of course that Windows 7 is any good. By all reports it is merely a polished-up version of Vista. It will still be written to satisfy the best interests of Microsoft and business partners, rather than the best interests of the end users who are expected to actually pay for it.
