Customers and partners who've been holding their breath waiting for Beta 2 of Windows Vista before getting serious about testing Microsoft's next-generation operating system can exhale. There will be no single, catch-all Beta 2 of Vista, according to Jim Allchin, co-president of Microsoft's Platform Products & Services Division. Instead, Microsoft is planning to rely increasingly on CTP builds to get its feedback from Windows testers. Elsehwere, Allchin said you should buy Vista for its security enhancements.

Microsoft have had a hard time persuading customers to pay for upgrades. A lot of users still use older versions of Windows. But what if Microsoft downgraded the security upgrades to anything other than Vista?
"Look, the security technices and policies in Vista is much better. You need to upgrade to Vista if you want to secure your data." I know that is a bit paranoid, but does anyone really think that Windows 2000 and Windows XP security will be a priority at Microsoft in the future?
