VISTA!!
Very kind of you to call Vista a "beta" version, it feels more like an early PRE-ALPHA stage
They talked to much about the new WinFS that will be included in Vista, and now I don't even see it happening on the Windows 7 release!!! How hard can be to write a new FS??? I mean, for those that know the job, of course... How many friggin years do you need to release a darn OS version that just works? Let's count, from Win XP to Windows 7 (Assuming that it will do what they claim to...)
Windows XP was first released on 25 October 2001
Microsoft has stated that it plans to release Windows 7 to manufacturing starting the end of July 2009, with general retail availability set for October 22, 2009
EIGHT @$#! YEARS??? What the heck are you doing there at Redmond guys???
That's why I always say to TheeMahn that if he releases only twice a year, a little after the official Ubuntu Releases it will be still much better and he will have time to fix stuff, to write Ultamatix, to plan the new release slowly, to maintain a good repo server if wanted, etc, but guess what? He don't listen! He prefers to remain sleepless !
I guess Thee has his motives and is not willing to tell them to us, but all we can is to be grateful for his job.
