Last week, Microsoft announced that Windows Vista went gold, and was released to manufacturing. The release has been long coming (five years of work) and was surrounded by controversies, rumours of rewrites, and legal threats by Microsoft's competitors. We got our hands on the RTM build (Microsoft Windows 6.0 (Build 6000)), so read on for the first superficial look at Windows Vista Ultimate.

Hey, good question.
Well, I think they are on par, mostly. Simply put, SLED 10 has all the advantages and disadvantages of being Linux ánd has a pretty interface, while Vista has all advantages and disadvantages of being Windows ánd has a pretty interface.
They both failed miserably in the touchpad department, in any case.

How does the first impression compare to SLED 10? I remember you writing nice things about it, and Novell hyped it all the time as the "Vista killer", so it really interests me. Performance, usability, fun, and so on? Was it the same hardware you've tested on? (I think so)
