Latest Vista Build Making Real Progress

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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."

    I think, they think we care. Get real editors....none of us will be using vista.

    Wow the install process is faster. I really dont see why thats useful at all since you only install your OS once. Oh wait what are we talking about? Windows? Oops. Thats a great feature then. This is coming from someone who says that a 2 day Gentoo install is great. ;)

    It's "still buggy". I'll bet that it'll still be buggy when it releases, if it wasn't it couldn't be a microsoft product.
