Preview Of Vista Proves Unwieldy
Friday, July 21st, 2006
Windows Vista - Microsoft’s years-late successor to Windows XP - has moved from being a speck 
on the horizon to a figure in the middle distance. It’s still far enough from stores to be easily ignored by most customers, but close enough for enthusiasts to chatter away feverishly about its features.
To get the attention of people in the first group and give those in the second group something to play with, Microsoft recently offered a free download of the second beta-test Vista release. Six months before the announced release date in January - a date that could still be moved back - a preview edition may not tell much about the finished product.
But after a week of tests on a few machines, Windows Vista Beta 2 does make a few things clear. Vista will be the biggest change in Microsoft-style computing since Windows 95, making fundamental alterations to foundations and facade.
