Well... partly true but I still think it's been exaggerated somewhat. All the editions will still need a lot of tweaking, and each edition will be different from the other. However, yeh a lot of dead code needs to be taken out (and will by the time Beta 2 gets released) and therefore performance will speed up, and yeh some bits will need tweaking as well :o)

I hope MS takes time and does this OS right. Better to do it right the first time than do it over. I suppose media need something negative to publish. MS take your time, do it right even if it is not released until 2007.

I think that it's a bit of a mis-understanding. I believe that there is much talk within MS about the need for a virtually complete re-write of the Media Centre part of Vista. This is why the current release schedule had the business versions coming out this year (no need to MC in them) and the consumer next year allowing for a little more time for the re-code.

They will - as I've said before, a direct quote from the beta team: "We'll release it not a second before it's ready." :o)

Do me a favor, set your Windows Vista Build 5308 Wallpaper on your Desktop to the one called "System Wallpaper" and tell me what you see? It says "Windows Code Name Longhorn," which means that this Build still has other problems besides just the Integrated Media Center, just FYI.
P.S. That Blank Screen at Boot Up (where the Windows Vista Logo should be) looks real promising, in my opinion (I'm being Sarcastic).

Also the Leads are being changed . The outgoing is retiring and incoming is from another Dept. Concerning the Media Centre it is true but there is a lot more that most are not aware of. Info will be released as needed over time.

Greetings Kevin,
According to Robert Scoble, this information is completely false. Read his blog post here - http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/2006/03/24/rewrite-of-windows-vista-underway-hogwash/

It's nice to know that you actually have to tell people when you're being sarcastic...

Very old, untrue news. Somebody went off before they did their research. Sound familiar?

While that's true, I wish they'd rewrite the Vista Windows Explorer!
It absolutely sucks!
Change shoud not occur unless it improves on what exists.

I actually liked File Explorer from Win 3.x better than Windows Explorer. You could show two separate listings at once in two panes of a single window. That made moving and copying files so much easier!
