Windows Vista

With the Beta distribution just being released, IT professionals are giving the newest version of Windows a test drive. Check it out:

http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2005/08...s_vista/1.html

Anybody here using it too? Doesn't seem like it's going to be much different than XP, aside from a few security patches and a new file system.

And what are your impressions of the OS? I understand it's only Beta 1, but does it have potential or is it just a prettier XP?

In my personal opinion, the released version will be as much better than XP as XP was to Windows 2000.

But, I am somewhat biased and also can't say much more due to my NDA

An Austrian hacker earned the dubious distinction of writing what are thought to be the first known viruses for Microsoft's Windows Vista.
