  • Tablet Vista ABCs - as easy as 123 (screenshots)

    Phew, that sure took a while to do! (One of those "start it in the morning...wham I missed lunch!" things.) I present to you a gallery of 123 Windows Vista Beta build 5219 screenshots . Most of them naturally focus on new and enhanced Tablet PC functionality, and the others show miscellaneous other features...

  • Playing with Max

    So Microsoft Max is...interesting. Sure, the app is a memory hog, the WinFX installer failed the first time around, and the interface has been called too simple by some. Then there is the fact that the section claiming to have other people's lists has no such thing (presumably until somebody shares their...

  • Windows Calendar

    From Paul Thurrott's Vista build 5219 features gallery : Windows Calendar screenshot . Again with the Apple features - now we have iCal in Windows. I wonder if an appropriately redesigned Outlook Express will become the new Mail app.

  • Sidebar - can it get down with me?

    The Sidebar will be back when Vista ships . Here's an interesting question that I hope somebody may be able to answer: when I switch to portrait mode, will the Sidebar still be on the side, thus taking up quite a lot of my now narrow screen width, or can it be repositioned horizontally on the top or...

  • Vista and IE 7 screens

    Some more Vista screenies. I really like the IE 7 tab window overview feature. Now they need to make it possible to rearrange the tabs by dragging and dropping. And the overall IE 7 UI seems a bit more "normal" compared to the current beta version.

  • Channel 9 Vista and Office 12 videos

    Robert Scoble points out some of the newest Channel 9 videos about Vista and Office 12 . I guess I'll have to catch up this weekend and fire up the (relatively) trusty Media Center. Did I ever mention that NewsGator for MCE running on a nice TV set rocks?

  • Complete your ink

    Lora's take on new tablet bits for Vista . Flicks are a two-year old plus concept. However, TIP Autocomplete - finally! Tablets will now be able to do what PDAs have made possible for years and let you write even faster. About time.

  • Gadgets - Redmond's widgets

    I guess Microsoft's take on Yahoo's Konfabulator widgets and Apple's Dashboard widgets are gadgets . Microsoft Gadgets even. Sounds cute. It's interesting how the same "class" of app will run on the desktop, on the web, and on auxiliary displays. I hope regular folks will have some simple to use SDK...

  • More Vista-isms

    More funny thoughts on Vista from the J-Walk blog. I never even thought of the Volkswagen confusion, but it's true: My VW Beetle is better than your Microsoft WV! Sigh. Maybe Microsoft will buy West Virginia and use it as a staging ground for the new marketing campaign? In all seriousness, it's not that...

  • Vista site online and beta dates

    The official Vista site is now up ! ActiveWin also has the obligatory Vista beta schedule dates . Less than a week until Beta 1? Call me excited. It's a good thing I have that extra hard drive for my tablet.
