Vista falling short says WindowsSuperSite guru

By Moose. Original by Moose - 20/04/2006 20:32:47 CEST - Category: PC
Our dear old Paul Thurrott, famous windows evangelist and whose Windows SuperSite is like the Gospel according to Gates, regularly reviews the beta versions of the next Windows avatar, aka VISTA (at MS they call these beta CTPs or Community Technical Previews).
He has been following Vista with high hopes since its announcement back in 2003 (a long time ago, in a galaxy far away...) and he is going from disappointment to disillusion.
His latest post, a "Windows Vista February 2006 CTP (build 5308/5342) review" -no joke, they do have some good creative people for naming products- is harshly subtitled "Where Vista Fails".
You can read some great lines like:
The graphics subsystem is substantially improved, if a little obviously modeled after that in Mac OS X. Heck, half of the features of Windows Vista seem to have been lifted from Apple's marketing materials.
