I’m finally looking at a Vista (the 5270 build) and on mine it takes up 6.9Gb… What do you get for that? This kind of “reviews”, which reveal almost nothing new, just fuel fruitless and plain wrong flamewars. We all could use a real indepth review if we want to avoid pointless comparisons to Linux and “Vista is XP with nice WindowBlinds skins” comments. Microsoft has a long way to go, but Vista is shaping up nicely. IE7 feels like it shatters down any minute, it’s not optimized at all yet. There are nifty nice new features in Explorer like “Look in folders” which reveals all files in all subfolders of the current folders. Taskbar loses its transparency and window thumbnails if you activate WMP miniplayer. For example, indexing doesn’t work outside logged-in user’s default Documents folder. I don’t think this is a real in-depth review – it just scratches the surface. The Windows Switcher works without a hitch in 5270 (in my installation anyway) and is tweaked since older builds – it uses larger screen estate now. There are several folders in root which can be deleted (IMHO) without any penalty – Packages, InstallRepository and Build Repository. Final install is going to be a little thinner. This is a beta build with lot of debug code.
