Microsoft is holding its official release party for Vista tonight in New York City. It appears to be quite the production from the news reports. I would have loved to be there. Wow. Pretty geeky, huh? So what. This is Microsoft's most advanced release to date and I am excited about it.
The pundits have written about all of the drawbacks and lack of hardware and software to take full advantage of it's features. We have also read about the apparent lack of innovation here. Aside from the lack of hardware and especially software, I disagree with a lot of those comments. I have never been a Microsoft fanboy, but I do see a lot of potential for this new OS. Gaming, for one, should reach technological levels that have not been seen before on the PC platform. Check out Crysis. The interface is refreshing with tons of little features to make everyday computing more interesting. Hopefully, security will be robust enough to keep up with the latest threats.
I was tempted to go pick up a copy at the local brick and mortar tomorrow morning, take the day off, and tinker. I'll wait for the copy I ordered to get here. My copy of Vista Ultimate should be en route as I type this. I am ready to upgrade one of my boxes and start digging around the retail version of the OS.
I'll let you know how I make out.
Rock On.
