The home page can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/Windowsvista/ There is supposed to be two different versions of both the Home and Pro editions. Supposedly those will be the basic and premium versions.

Supposedly from what has been heard lately there's a review on the beta suggesting it can be up to par with Linux and Apple/Mac. How the final version measues up will be another topic there.

I can tell from your post, you have never tried Vista (Longhorn)

Well, I've tried it since PDC 03 I think. They handed out build 4051, that build was good, but it took a whole day to install on my laptop. Now, the newest build released on Microsoft Connect which was 5365, installs much quicker, it is getting faster than XP.

No I haven't tried it as of yet. The article read referred to the 4074 and 5048 builds and the complaints about Microsoft stepping back a notch with the 5048. The complaint on a lessened amount of user friendliness was one stated as the trend is for a business OS.

One big reason why it hasn't been tried here is the need to be a member of MSDN in order to even download the beta releases. But i'll wait a couple of years until they get the creeps out of a new Windows with the new fixes.
