Genuine Windows enthusiast Paul Thurrott keeps us constantly supplied with new info and screenshots
from Redmond, and this week over at his Windows SuperSite he's
posted his review and
screenshot gallery of the most recent
build of Windows Vista, 5365. This is the last build of Vista before Beta 2, and Thurrott says, "Windows Vista is,
overall, a huge improvement over Windows XP," which has been his opinion all along. However, he expresses a bit of
frustration, saying, "
in many ways, the Windows Vista we're going to
get late 2006 fails to match the excitement Microsoft generated," and that "the reality of Windows Vista,
like most things in life, is that there's good and bad. It's not perfect. But it's not a complete dog either." The
screenshots are nothing too different from what we've been seeing, but you can get a peek at a few of Vista's desktop
background and screensavers.
