Two Views of Vista b2Two reviews of the new Windows Vista Beta 2. On TechWeb, Preston Gralla evaluates the improvements in the feature set of Vista since the last build: "The much-ballyhooed search feature is turned on for the first time, and it's just about everything that Microsoft promised. The universally disliked User Account Control (UAC) has received significant work, and is finally usable, helping to lead the way to a more secure operating system. And overall, there's a better organization and "fit and finish" to this beta than previous Vista versions." While at the CRN Test Center, Frank Ohlhorst tested Vista's insall and operations and explored hardware compatibility issues: "While beta 2 has made significant improvements, Vista is still a little rough around the edges when it comes to hardware support and driver compatibility. Those issues became evident as Test Center engineers installed Vista on several test systems." Overall, it's time for you to be testing, as well.
