Thanks for the link. This is useful. I didn't do the test drive but I did view the videos. I like the new task manager. It collects historical data and it's viewable now.

I don't find any of these features compelling though. Microsoft needs to redesign this with better feature marketing. Vista looks great but I'm not superficial person. At this point, I'm still don't see the change from XP.

What a pathetic overblown feature burdened piece of software. I rue the day this will be rammed down our throats by the Redmond monster.

What purpose is served by hiding old features under new names and interface designs.

This is the same old pig with a fresh coat of lipstick. Let's take her to the fair and win a prize.

Thanks so much for the link. I've been waiting for trying Vista!

Well that was useless. Doesn't work in Firefox. :)

If Microsoft wants people to start using their new system, they better start realizing that we want choices and that we have already started making them without them. And the fact that they are not allowing us to make a choice on their websites to promo their own products, then there is a good chance we won't see their promo and they just missed their chance to pitch their product to us.

You may have a monopoly but you are still being stupid in thinking us consumers are gonna stand by and let you enforce it.

This was a big waste of time and effort. It makes no sense at all to change the Menus that we have relearned to use in XP after 95 & 98. Do Redmond people sit around and gleefully think up ways to be irritating? I have found many ways to avoid most Microsoft products and will certainly continue to so do. Thanks for the warning.

"Thank you for your interest in the Windows Vista Business Test Drive.
This drive is only available in limited geographies and languages, and you are currently located outside the available area"

Ok, so, i can understand english... even speak, read and write english but can't test "cause i'm located outside the available area".
But I can see the videos so, what's the difference?

Thanks for nothing Micro$oft...

I am having issues since day I received my computer and would love to go back to XP and this free trial of vista is a nightmare. I spend hours trying to figure out where things are located as it's nothing like XP and compatability is terrible with programs I'm used to using. Can't even use a webcam that is supposedly compatible. UGH!
