I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posted but...

Windows has annouced WIndows Vista!

Turns out it isn't going to be longhorn.

Here is the sight.

Where have you been? Most of us have known about this since July.

And Vista was sounding good, but I really don't know anymore.

Oh...

Well, I didn't touch the Internet all summer (I was too busy doing really cool stuff). And I Searched "Vista" and nothing came up, so I thought, that by some weird event, that no one saw it. Well, it seems there isn't a thread for it, soooo.... What do you like about it? It said on that website that the new Windows would turn on and off really quickly, like a TV. I think that's the coolest feature.

Are seven versions really necessary?

For that matter, is Windows even necessary? Microsoft's feature list is making me more and more want to permanently switch to the alternatives.

Alright now, stop spamming guys. And I heard about Microsoft removing file menus or something... and it just sounds like a bad move.

That's not in Vista, that's in Office 12.

This is kind of a shameless plug, but if you want to keep up on software news, I recommend Download Squad.

Meh, Vista's success is basicly riding in this WinFS stuff. IE7 is crap, so that's not gonna be the killer feature. Really. It's like a Firefox ripoff with none of the good stuff in it.

We'll see... we'll see.....

WinFS isn't going to be in Vista when it's released. I expect it to be added in a service pack, though you can download the beta--which presumably will be usable with Vista--as of last month. At any rate, WinFS won't be among Vista's selling points.

But in essence, I agree. Microsoft is encountering the law of diminishing returns. They're doing a lot of interesting stuff in Vista, but it's too little, too late.
