Although I have Windows Vista beta 1 installed on one of my computers, I haven’t spent as much time looking at it as I would like to (although I will say that I don’t think much of the new Aero interface – it all feels a bit too much like the Linux KDE desktop to me – but I guess many people I know don’t like the Windows XP Lunar interface and elect to run in classic mode so maybe I’m just turning into a dinosaur too…).
For those who don’t have access to the beta, or just anyone who wants an overview of what Windows Vista should bring us next year, Microsoft have a Windows Vista product overview for IT professionals on their website.
