Windows Vista Build 5231 Review

Posted by samzenpus on from the read-all-about-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has just released a new build for Windows Vista and it looks like Microsoft has made quite a few graphical changes. "This is possibly the only application with more anticipation surrounding it than Internet Explorer 7, if not Vista itself. We wonder if Microsoft would bundle Windows Media Player 11 with Vista exclusively or would it be available for download separately for Windows XP as well. It most certainly will end up looking a lot better (graphically) than most music players out there, iTunes included. Although it appears to look pretty straightforward, the interface has changed drastically, which makes it far more attractive than Windows Media Player 10 as well as competing applications."

    It's a really good idea: hit a button and this comes up.

    Anything like that for enlightenment?

    Actually scratch that, I guess it's probably possable quite easily with maximising the pager with some keybinding...still, I've seen some good ideas on quickly navigating to the window you want, which should be useful.

    There is no "-1 Boring", so people use redundant or overrated.

    Also, redundant has a broader meaning. If I were to post "Windows is an operating system by Microsoft" I wouldn't get +5 Informative. It's redundant.

    I'm really, really, really surprised you could type that post with Steve Jobs' dick so far down your throat....
