Today, Microsoft released the first beta of Windows Vista. PC Mag reviews it. "After several years of waiting to see the successor to Windows XP, code-named Longhorn, we've finally gotten our hands on Beta 1 of what now will be called Windows Vista." They also have 40 screenshots. Elsewhere, MS has announced the official names for Avalon and Indigo.

Not always - most of the time XP just informs you that you do not have rights to access it. This is a step in the correct direction. I will hold off on judgement until further info comes out.

Only in a few places (E.g., Users and Passwords control panel in Win2k). But not in most of the cases where it would be useful - try going into Network Connections as a Limited User.
