disgusting.
How it's possible that with the money and resources they have, the tey produce something like Vista.
MS, one of the biggest corporations worldwide, 100.000.000.000 of $, 1000.000 or more employees = Vista?
Come one. I mean... windows 95, windows 98, XP, Vista?some of the most stupid, wrong, ugly designed, useless, vaste of time, dangerous......
i mean the history is full of bad copies...but this one...
How is that possible.... may they want to reduce us to something like Vista to have more revenue en the next years.
Imagine a future with MS brains

Is it really that bad? If you judge it mostly on the new looks it won't seem like much. But just the new vectorized interface elements can prove to be quite useful. If the gpu is just sitting there most of the time doing nothing, why not take advantage of it. Even the skeptics aren't doubting it's also more secure than XP or Win2K. Hopefully it will also offer improved performance on multicore systems.

I am waiting to see Vista, maybe I'll make it a second OS on my Mac.
Well... If the software development will continue like this, i guess i will have to install Vista. So i really am waiting for it to bee good

About vector interface - it is already introduced in Symbian OS 9.
And it ROCKS!

I mean, is it really surprising? Microsoft has never been an ideas company. And apple's never really gone beyond that good ol' I'm a San Francisco yuppie genius bit, throughout alot of the innovative things they've done...

Those two mega-corporations with all the money and power function like pyramids, and tip of the pyramid is what gives character to the whole colossal enterprise, and we know pretty well what kinds of people those tips are.

Gates was never an inventor, he was always a hyper-capitalist with a nasty skill for cornering world markets....

Come on mihai, thoose vectorized interfaces are not NEW!!!. They are already implemented in OSX, Linux, FreeBSD and many others....
And 12 years ago every interface was a vectorized interface!!!
MS repeated so many times that this vectorized interfaces are something new that today people belive that!!!

"people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it" Goebbles.

You need only the power to repeat the lie frequently enough...And MS has this power.

I hope to find the way to avoid installing Vista in my office.

I didn't mean to say they invented it, I don't think they've said it either, but it is something new to Vista. DX10 looks very interesting and powerful also. I can just imagine what kind of interfaces you could design using the full power of DX10 and a graphics card that just idles most of the time.

indeed!

[numerobis]

yes, dx10 looks great... but this could be a simple update for win xp... no need to sell a new os for this.

a few weeks ago there was a rumour that it will be released for xp too (as dx9.0L) but now it should not. maybe M$ has realised that no one will buy the great new os if it will be available for free?!? dx10... is this all?
sure, vista looks nice - but all this new digital rights stuff and need for a supercomputer just to run the os is inacceptable (for me).

i will stay as long as possible with xp (xp64 soon) and hope for a implementation of dx10 in xp - if not m$ will do it, i'm sure, there are already many talented programmers out there waiting to make a nice dx10 for xp ...and remove the drm from vista

but all this new digital rights stuff ....

The thing is, OSx is also chuck full of digital rights stuff ... the only alternative is Linux ... but even there Novel is selling out to MS and the rest of Linux does not seem to catch up ...
