A First Look into Windows Vista Beta 1
Some of you may not know this but Microsoft released Beta 1 of Windows Vista to MSDN developers a few days ago. Yep - they’re early with the release and if you are an MSDN subscriber you too can get a hold of this beta. I downloaded it myself yesterday and will take it for a test drive in a few days. In the meantime, PC Magazine has also taken the release on a test drive and you can see the preview here. Their assessment?
This version, aimed at developers and IT shops, lacks many features that the final Windows Vista, still over a year away, will have. But it has all the basic foundations of the OS and displays Microsoft’s new emphasis on making a system that will be more stable and secure, as well as giving users greater clarity as regards their files. This “clear vision” is what Microsoft says is reflected in the Vista name.
