Windows Vista is looking promising

Windows Vista RC1 seems to be making a good impression. The biggest issue people had with the previous releases was stability. This seems to have been improved and it's now almost a usable operating system.

I've personally been put off testing the OS due to the stability issues. Now this is becoming less of an issue, it may be time to create some VM to see how it holds up.

Windows Vista. Erm..

I installed the first beta version of Windows Vista last week, but was disappointed with what I saw.

Personally, I found the interface big and bulky and half of the functionality was unavailable. Specifically, I've been looking forward to seeing the networking interfaces and tools, new firewall and security capabilities but they weren't available.

Initial testing was inconclusive. Not a good start, Microsoft.

Time to get Beta 2...
