Beta 1 looked so much better than this ugly RTM. The shell for every window was amazing. Loved the green, orange and blue. Performance is better than one of RTM, games run faster. Installed like a charm on a 2nd HD. I downgraded from RTM to Beta 1 and I love the switch.

If any of you are having problems with Vista logon to NAS devices running Samba, try:

Run secpol.msc

Go to: Local Policies > Security Options

Find “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level”

Change Setting from “Send NTLMv2 response only”
to
“Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”

Vista defaults to only send the more secure NTLMv2 protocol, which these NAS devices / Samba do not support.

That's exceptionally good, considering the tons of reviews I've read about Vista. Very informative and sticks to the point. The screen shots also help out big time. Anyway, my opinion on Mrugesh's above comment (second post above this one): Thanks for dawning the reality of Vista into words: It's just added eye-candy and really nothing majorly new. The new Desktop Widgets, which were obviously copied from the Mac, don't really add much to the usability of Windows. And come to think of it, all Windows does really <i>is</i> teach you to point and click, unless you're a geek like me and decide to toy (and hack) with all of the internal components regular users never know exist (things that are mostly in the system32 folder). Please do not take this as my opposition to Windows; I am a huge hardcore fan and user of Windows and have always(and will most likely for ever)used it. I have even refitted my Windows XP to look exactly like Vista, ranging from the Log-on screen to the user interface. Kudos again on the review, Michael Hampton and thanks for inspiring me to try Linux one day, Mrugesh. <b>-Darlyn Perez</b> This review is the best one I’ve seen so far.

I was pretty excited about Windows XP. Then I switched to Linux. For the past year, I haven't touched Windows except to play Pro Evolution Soccer! I don't mean to be partial here, just because I prefer Linux over Windows. But, looking at this review and the screenshots etc, I see more of the same with added eye-candy. Now, I've become a hard-core geek. I can honestly see Microsoft trying to emulate Unix/Linux. The only difference being, all these great features are available to me on the CLI (though KDE/Gnome do make a good job of providing very fine GUI's to most of the stuff, along with other apps of course!). The Windows way is with pretty graphical interfaces. I wouldn't want to make unhealthy comments like SiMpSoN before me has done, but honestly, I don't think I would want to spend my money on Vista... Something I really believe in... Linux teaches you actually use your computer.. Windows teaches you to point and click! But, like I said, I don't want to be partial. Vista does look very nice. (I'm talking about the graphical interface!) Apart from the looks, atleast in this beta release, I don't see anything really new or special. Though for people who only care about the eye candy and "ease of use" Vista does look good. For us geeks, we have Linux ;) I’ve been using Windows my whole life.
