Microsoft has put up a new site where one can poke around and get to know this little (not very little by any means) new operating system that will hopefully be on store shelves by Jan. of 2007.
The site will test your current system and let you know if your hardware is up to snuff (which a lot of people are wondering about) and it will recommend which version to buy once the OS is out and ready to roar....
This preview page may just mean that the RTC (release to manufacturing) date might be closer than even Microsoft had hoped.
For an OS (operating system) that has been in the works for over five years or even before, I sure hope that Redmond manages to make this OS one that will have all sorts of bells and whistles as well as being robust and fast.
I am waiting to get my next computer until Vista ships and at that time I may retire "old faithful"...my laptop which has been with me through thick and thin since just after XP came out.
For the heck of it though, I decided to run the "Upgrade Advisor" to see how "ready" my current laptop would be if I decided to put Vista on to it. And according to the final report, I am able to "enjoy" the "core user experience" of the new operating system as you can clearly see from the image of my desktop that I captured (click on picture above for a close up view of the report from my laptop)
