Windows "It's unusual for a Beta 1 version of Windows to have both the final shipping name of the product and as many new features as this build shows. And that's a strong sign of two things. Firstly: Windows Vista remains an ambitious release of Windows, despite some of the features that Microsoft has pushed off the side of the boat. Secondly: Microsoft is trying to get serious, both internally and externally, about this development program. Windows Vista is now the company's top priority." Read on, ten pages, here.

Toolbar arrangement

The scattered toolbar in IE7 confuses me. What is the point of splitting the toolbar up in to three parts? First you have the Back/Forward buttons next to the address field, which in turn is merged with the Refresh/Stop button. Finally, the rest of the toolbar buttons are placed below the tab bar along with the menu. I simply don't understand the rationale behind these significant UI changes. Where are the studies that prove this is more user friendly?
