It's the hour of reckoning for Windows Vista. After five years of course changes, false starts and a host of beta and CTP builds, Microsoft is set to deliver a broad-scale build of Vista to two million testers. Microsoft is likely to drop the build - known by multiple names, including the consumer Vista CTP and Vista Beta 2 - as early as the week of May 22 at the WinHEC in Seattle, according to company watchers. And on a related note, if you want the fancy Vista look on your XP machine, check out this transformation pack.

uh, you're guessing that I actually own Windows XP. I don't and probably never will since all my school stuff can be done on Linux since the school mostly uses web based applications and Open Office. A couple of years ago I probably would have had to buy a PC with XP but not anymore. A hundred bucks is still a lot of money for me. That is two more books next semester.

I completely agree with that. As a student trying to pay for grad school and work at the same time I have to count every penny to get by. Vista looks interesting but I like the price of my current OS I downloaded for free: 0.00 for Fedora Linux. I couldn't afford the hardware upgrades either for a new graphics card and such to run Vista but Gnome runs just fine on my old Athlon thunderbird.
