Title: Windows Vista Febuary CTP!
Post by: Warrior on February 25, 2006, 10:21:35 AM
"With today's release of the Windows Vista February CTP, Microsoft has publicly passed a key milestone on the road to launching its new operating system. This release of Vista is 'feature-complete', the company says, meaning that all of the fundamental capabilities that Vista will eventually offer are now baked in."

It's not a  very indepth review, but it has a screenshot gal with some of the new features.  I'm still waiting for a
better one..

The screenshots look very impressive.  I'm looking forward to giving it a try. :)

Do you know if there is going to be an upgrade feature like XP had?  I would definitely guess that there's going to be, but you never know...

What I think is most impressive is how much they turned Longhorn around (Which was a huge mess and seemed like XP with some upgrades) into a whole new OS with a nice feel to it and improve functionality.

Damn Vista!  If I tried to install/upgrade to it, my computer would explode.  AR!

I'm impressed with Vista's screenshots. It reminds me of a Macintrash interface almost. :/

I guess I'll give Vista a shot. Maybe. I'll buy me a 400 gig SATA HDD and dual-boot Slackware / Vista 250gb / 150gb split. :)
