After a brief demo at the on-going CES conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft have launched a re-vamped version of the website for Windows Vista.
The slick new look makes a break from the often bland Microsoft product pages, and moves towards the Glass theme expected in Vista. Perhaps of most significance is that the pages underlying code is put together with more 'modern' html code (div tags, for example, rather than tables). Also of note is the RSS feed, added, no doubt, after cajoling from a certain Microsoft blogger (http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/).
The website hosts a fairly detailed break down of some of the major features announced to date, and also some less well publicised ones; Windows Calendar, for example, is covered on their 'for the home' page.
It's launch marks the start of what will be one of Microsoft's most important years. Windows Vista, expected in the latter half of this year, has much riding on a successful launch and quick adoption.

I quit. Didn't even have to review more than a couple pages to turn sick. Definitely DOES NOT encourage this user. Can't see putting more any money into micro's pockets for their systems to cost more in componant upgrades to make up for their limitations. See a pattern developing there?
Think they lost me someplace along when they turned their back on 98's instead of revamping it completely then moving in same fashion for improving XP's/2000 and not the famous neglect or patches that come unraveled over time they are more ambitious at lol
