BANGALORE: When you are the world’s largest software maker, about to unveil a completely new operating system that will run on most consumer desktops in the planet, you jolly well drum up some excitement. Microsoft is doing just that. In the run up to its brand new operating system launch, now named Windows Vista (earlier Longhorn), Microsoft is enticing customers with many attractive features in the first pre-launch (beta 1) release. Vista, slated for final release in the second half of 2006, will be Microsoft’s first major release since Windows XP was launched end 2001. Microsoft gets a huge 70% chunk of all the operating systems revenue generated worldwide. There are currently more than 500 million XP users worldwide, and several million more who run their systems on the earlier generation of Windows software. | ||

| off topic, but what happened to that Diamond posting from James Proud? I stopped by to see where that discussion ended up and I noticed that it's missing. Did it get pulled? |

MrRoper,
I wondered the same thing. Although it never should have been posted as news in the first place. I think he was just trying to drive people to his site. TowerDave |
