I saw some demos for Vista this week at Mix06 and I must say I was pretty impressed with the interface. I also received a copy of Vista (February CTP) as swag, I just need a guinea pig computer to load it up on

My wife is out of town this week, so I’ve been staying up too late..

Good, cuz this place is getting a little sleepy, tell us some stories about a day at the plex? Anyone ever walk around with a video camera (scoble style) there? That would be pretty cool.

What do you make of this site? It looks like a search honeypot, but is has no outbound links whatsoever.

So… this is totally off topic, but I have just experienced the weirdest Google error ever. I did a search for my name, and every result is listed twice. For example, the site that is result one (and has been for months) is now 1 & 2. Site that was 2 is now 3 & 4. No difference in the listings. It’s like that on down through the pages. Who the heck would I report this to and is it even something that the engineering team cares about? I’ve only seen this on my name, no other searches, I’m just wondering if it’s some new error creeping in.

Sounds like the retailers are going to be upset because this will impact their holiday sales.

>>I have the feeling that “pgaz” is posting under his name and then under another name to try to give himself credibility….

Ben,
Take your meds and contain your conspiracy paranoia. I’ve only posted here under one name.

I have the feeling that “pgaz” is posting under his name and then under another name to try to give himself credibility….

But anywho, quoting: “They need to take the time and re-visit their whole “registry” idea and file system first… You can only patch so many leaks in the ship before you need to give up and just build a new one.. ”

That’s exactly what Vista is - a whole new ship - and the major reason for the six years between releases. They rewrote the kernel and built it upon a different mindset.

that’s what I learned the hared way about ms over the last 10 years: don’t touch anything until it’s at least 2.0 …
