Windows Vista RTM’d
From the “It’s about damn time” table:
It’s now official—Windows Vista is ready to be rolled out. After a six-year long road, the Windows Vista codebase had been frozen. The set dates of November 30 for businesses and January 30 for us mere mortals are almost guaranteed to be met. Of course that hasn’t stopped Paul Thurottfrom reviewing the thing before it even rolls out to MSDN subscribers next week.
Deep Thought’s (okay, my) take: I, for one, welcome our new clarity-bringing overlords. It’ll be the first Windows release I’ll pay attention to (I wasn’t paying attention to the internet back in good old 2k1.)

thinkback
I think Thurott spent too much time being defensive in the Vista Experience section. Four paragraphs was a bit much.
And this was precious:
“First, we’re not fanatics… we’re positive (if not militantly so) that Windows is, in fact, superior to rival systems.”
No, Paul isn’t a fanatic. A fanatic would have written five paragraphs about the Mac and Mac/Linux users instead of just the four paragraphs Paul wrote...in a Vista review. Nope. Not fanatical at all.
This guy really does need to see a therapist.

I can’t wait to put it on my new Mac Book and use it in Parallels Desktop.
However, I still prefer OS X because of things like the email worm Google accidentally sent out recently that works in Vista.
