Have a gripe about the Windows Vista User Interface? Give Microsoft your opinions and help build a better product.
Microsoft is accepting feedback from anyone, not just their beta users, on the UI in Vista. You can read more about the program & forum in the BetaNews article linked below.
Well, I’ve finally found a few hours laying around to plop the latest beta code on my machine – yet again. What have we got this time? The usual Vista and Office 2007, etc…
Initial observations seem to back up what I’ve been hearing about performance. Stability on Beta 2 of Vista & Office was not a problem for me, but performance was.
Vista RC1 and Office 2007 B2TR are comperable in performance to a freshly installed Windows XP & Office 2003 setup. So I’ll be continueing to install my usual cadre of software and continue working away.
I fully expect to be able to run this software stack until the final releases are available. Hopefully that’ll mean a new laptop for yours truely, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
Looks good so far – kudos Microsoft!

Interesting, I was wondering when Microsoft would include the recently purchased technologies of WinInternals/SysInternals into the Windows product.
Looks like the new “Windows RE Notes” blog details the upcoming components, though there is only an introductory post at this time. Based on Windows PE, Windows RE will provide a recovery environment for Windows installations that have gone sour.
Neat stuff, and if this is based on some WinInternals technology, I wouldn’t be surprised. This will be an awesome tool for system administrators and others who support desktop and server OS installations. Check out at the link below.

Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
I think it’s safe to say that @GovEvers should stop blocking audits in Wisconsin and open the books…
“Only AMERICAN citizens should vote.”
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
Wrong. Democrats are solely responsible for hours-long airport lines.
They voted to defund TSA three times and won’t even entertain a conversation about reopening it. Why?
They’re using it as leverage to stop enforcing immigration laws.
