It looks like a rip-off to me, too. Although, it isn't a very elegant rip-off.

It appears that the new folder feature in that picture seems like it has seperate folders behind the main one, but twisted to the side a little, to show how many folders are inside that one folder. That helps to see that you've got five other folders within the folder you're looking at. It's looking better and better. It'll give the Mac Cultists something to geek over. I mean complain about. :P

Anyone know if this is able to be downloaded in beta form to be tested? I'd like to check it out.

And the answer to my question is yet another question. Why would I pay MS to beta test a product that I would then have to pay for when it's finally released?

Thats cool. I'm going to wait for the final though. Vista's all over the torrent sites too. It isn't hard to find. Still a long way off though as far as I'm concerned.

Not even sure what the final hardware requirements will be yet. So I'm still waiting to figure out what to build to run it. I like to see the screenies and read about it when I can though. This will turn into a good thread.

Yeah, I'll check out what I can get from Torrent or Kazaaa because I WILL NOT pay MS to test their own product for them. I need a reformatting anyway so I might as well do it while checking out the latest MS OS and the reformat again to get it back to XP.

Read this Blog , and read all 355 replies , many from actual MS employees , one coder said MS would of been money ahead to pay Steve Jobs 10 Billion for a license to load it on a PC and still be billions ahead of the game and a better OS !
http://minimsft.blogspot.com/2006/03/vista-2007-fire-leadership-now.html

I like what this guy said :
• I took part in a computer trade show early this month in Germany, and Microsoft was showing Vista, and the Microsoft fans were saying it looks like OS X (Apple wasn't there). Apple is on a roll, and we've just given them enough time to get the next version of OS X out the door (whatever animal name it is going to be). And we can guess right now what their marketing push will be: Stop waiting for those guys who can't even copy our old stuff in time. Get the original from us -- we ship on time, we're shipping right now.

Yea, I read about the delay. Its off to 2007 now. Maybe it will be able to stay off of the "Cement" post above. That would stink if they took this long to put out a good windows "ME" competitor.
