Windows Vista
My cousin works at Microsoft and was able to get me on the Windows Vista beta. I’ve gone and installed the 5270 build on our home computer and I’m really excited to give it a run through.
In my few minutes of playing with it I’m very pleased with the new interface. Aero looks great. All the people that claim that Microsoft is just copying Apple have a point. There is definitely an Apple-esque vibe going on, but if you are familiar with Windows you should be able to navigate well. It’s small little details that make the experience.
The Flip-3D switching thing is really cool. You have live previews of all your open windows that you can cycle through very quickly. I haven’t tried to install any games or anything, but overall I’m very pleased with the new look.
Now to convince Tammy to let me get a new computer with Vista Media Center. (and lose my 40lbs so I can get an XBOX 360 as an extender)
