At Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles, Microsoft is planning to provide programmers with the code for an early version of Vista, as well as Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005, both of which will be released in November. Vista, the client version of the next release of Windows developed under the code name Longhorn, is expected to be released next year. Screenshots of the PDC Vista build can be found here.

Lack of change in paint and notepad

Yes. It's highly encouraging to see that the "About" menu still reads like a legal document rather than informing the user what the application actually does.
I wonder if Notepad still refuses to let you access the "Page Setup" menu without a printer installed but still lets you view the "Print" dialogue?

Sidebar looks like it will be full of useless widgets.
As if there isn't already enough stuff wasting screen real estate.
I like how paint hasn't changed. Neither has notepad.
I guess the releasing of source code will probably trick a lot of people out of their actual freedom.
But it's good to see that Microsoft is feeling the pressure.
Soon the world will be ours, patiences.
