Latest Vista Build Making Real Progress

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday July 20, 2006 @08:52AM from the better-build dept.

feminazi writes "Computerworld's Scot Finnie has reviewed the newest Vista build and found some significant improvements over Beta 2, which he had previously criticized in pretty strong terms. There's improved performance, greatly reduced installation time, four network control panels and some wizards have all been combined into one nicely organized Network and Sharing Center. Microsoft is also reducing the number of annoying User Access Control (UAC) prompts. There are some minor improvements in the way Media Center handles windows, but it's still buggy."

FTFA:

When a background application or service trips UAC, instead of interrupting what you're doing in the foreground, it flashes oranges in the taskbar.

Won't someone think of the poor innocent oranges?
