After years of silence and doubts, Microsoft's Windows
Vista project is finally moving ahead with confidence. In September,
Microsoft released its first Community Technical Preview (CTP) version

"On that note, as long as Microsoft can continue to meet and, God forbid,
exceed expectations in future builds, then Windows Vista is on the right path.

"It's too early to say how successful Microsoft Windows Vista will be. Windows XP
hasn't swept the world after four years (there are millions of people still
using Windows 98 SE, for example), and in the corporate space, Windows 2000
remains the preferred environment, despite Microsoft's many attempts to
discontinue support of Windows 2000. Check back at the end of 2005 to read about
how the second beta performs."...more
