By the time all the bugs are worked out, Windows 2010 will be ready for release.

I use Raxco's "PerfectDisk" and I recently received an email from them, in part as follows:
Raxco is proud to announce that PerfectDisk 8 is the first and only defragmenter to be Certified for Windows Vista by Microsoft. PerfectDisk 8 Build 50 is now available for use on Windows Vista, as well as Windows XP Home/Professional, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Professional/Server.

During the PerfectDisk 8 Vista certification testing process, Raxco’s development team uncovered a bug within a component of Windows Vista that could potentially cause hard drive corruption. Raxco has already reported this bug to Microsoft and Microsoft is working to resolve the issue. Raxco has designed PerfectDisk 8 build 50 to specifically work around this issue.

So, what this is saying is that it's gone over remarkably well, but a couple people had trouble.

A couple people are bound to have trouble even understanding how to reply to this post. Sounds to me like it's gone pretty dang smoothly, considering the huge scale of the release.

One person found that his Black Eyed Peas track, which displayed fine in XP, showed up in Vista's Windows Media Player with all of its metadata in Chinese.

I hate it when that happens.

Why do they have to make an Article about Vista an Apple ad?

Thats how I know Apple users are liberals, the media gives them free advertising all the time.

Screw em, Vista made me learn Linux (still learning)

Used to be that you owned your computer and operating system.

Now you pay Microsoft for the right to have them run your system the way they see fit.

Hopefully some good pirates of Vista will come out, I ain't spending $400 bucks for it.
