CNET has a review of things to look forward to - and groan about - in Vista, when it finally arrives.
More depressing is this description of the Vista development process by Phillip Su at Microsoft. Look at the abysmal productivity - "on average, the typical Windows developer has produced one thousand new lines of shipped code per year during Vista". We have seen the resulting delays - dare we ask what quality will be like?
Ray Ozzie will inherit a growing R&D budget (as Microsoft builds its own SaaS grid) in response to Google, but frankly his bigger opportunity is to make Microsoft think small and agile. Like Google.
