Just like it was said before, no Aero in this version.

About the spotlight-like skills, it was already announced that it wouldnt be included in the launch of Windows Vista. It will be available latter on (how many more years??=D) as an upgrade.

Vista, even in Beta1 is supposed to include built-in MSN Search like features (a la Google Desktop Search).

It's NOT WinFS, this will be included in SP1 of Vista, we hope....

The Spotlight-like features will be included with the final version of Vista. WinFS is so much more broad than Spotlight, and that functionality won't be available til later.

the shipping search technology of Vista will still pale in comparison to spotlight, however, winFS will be waay more powerful then spotlight.. only remains to be seen when WinFS will actually ship..
of course, it also stands to reason that spotlight will have evolved by then too.. that is if leopard ships around the same time Vista does.. either way.. exciting times ahead
