Review of Vista Build 5270
BentUser has a worthwhile review of a recent build of Windows Vista. Some good screenshots, particularly in comparison to XP. I'm glad that Windows Media Player is getting an overhaul, as it's one of the most uncomfortable media players I've ever used. I like the speed of WMP, especially compared to the Windows version of iTunes, but the interface can be challenging.
The "live" task switcher looks great, though for people who run with 15-20 windows at a time, I hope it'll still be usable.
Glad to see Media Center functionality making its way to the over-the-counter OS's, since the current version has to be installed from an OEM machine. MCE is really nice software that doesn't get nearly enough attention. I think that'll change once more people get their hands on it.
