The task of upversioning the world to significantly changed Windows technology is beyond monumental. Kind of like trying to fight a war when 80% of the civilized world refuse to leave their happy dream.
I don't think Microsoft has lost it. There will be more blood, more hemorraging, Vista will be excoriated, but in three years it will sweep the world.

It's BETA for cryin' out loud. Naturally beta versions are going to have bugs.

Testers and pundits alike say Vista Beta 2, released publicly in June maybe they should actually try the newest build and stop posting old news?

When I upgrade my computers it will likely be to OSX capable machines.
No plans on running Vista.

I installed Vista beta 2 last week just to check it out. I installed it on a p4 3.4GHz machine with 1GB of ram and it would barely run. It was so slow I had to click on a menu and wait on most things. The layout isn't bad, but it will be a bit of a learning curve for most users of Windows.
The visual style and layout of the OS reminded me allot of KDE in the Linux world. I'll stop short of suggesting they ripped off KDE, but the resemblance is striking.
