Tom's Hardware Looks at Microsoft Vista Beta
RockClimbingFool writes "Tom's Hardware has a pretty good overview of what the current beta version of Microsoft Windows Vista has to offer. The article is written from an average user's perspective, specifically highlighting exactly which differences the average computer user can expect to see from Windows XP to Windows Vista. It covers everything from IE7, to the new Windows Aero interface, to brand new games." But if you'd like your eye candy open source and downloadable now, check out Lunapark6's review of the current version of Ubuntu Dapper, with "emphasis placed on helping someone set up the system for everyday desktop usage."
Forty pages of the same crap we have now with XP. Yeck. Talk about a company playing catchup and not doing well. And just because this qoute is too good not to be recycled.... "Putting Windows on DOS is like putting whipped cream on a road apple" -McNealy I dont think much has changed. All I see is whipped cream now, and apple makes much better eye candy than this. (for those who dont know what a road apple is...http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?ter m=road+apple)
It's Slashdot... Slashdot is where the Linux geeks hang out. If you don't like it, maybe you should read the MSDN forums or something?
