I'm not knocking Vista, but it was supposed to be released in early 2005, then 2006, and now 2007. All of the so-called "cutting edge" stuff is being dropped out of the O/S just to make the 2007 deadline.
I found an interesting blog created by a programmer at Microsoft involved on the Vista project. His opinion, and the countless other MS employees aren't too happy with Vista.
Here's the link:
