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.

"I feel as if a great opportunity was missed somewhere."
I agree, and I have an idea of what went wrong. They should have created an OS from scratch with a compatibility layer, as simple as possible, for legacy applications.
If Wine and Crossover can do it, why not Microsoft, with almost unlimited resources and, above all, all the source code?
