Looking about I have heard that there is going to me new Microsoft programs for the new Vista e.g. Windows Media Player 11.

Are all programs going to be new & updated on Vista? Also is Microsoft office 2007 meant for vista to? I have used Microsoft Office 2007 and looking at screen shots of Vista it looks like a similar look.

I'm running the Vista Beta, and I really, really detest the new version of Windows Media player. I spent ages setting it back to 'classic' for all the options - the new version is far too cluttered and trys to push too much on you.

There are other things that have changed in Vista - there are a number of changes to the games, and even stuff like paint has had a minor brush-over with things being moved around a bit.

I haven't tried Office 2007 yet - by the time I could be bothered to download it they had started charging for it.

It seems to me most of the changes are cosmetic. Things are faster and more stable though :)

I'm pretty sure that the whole Microsoft Office will be updated for the release of Vista. Microsoft is going to use the opportunity to make somemore bucks :?

IE will also be updated along with many new programs added along the line. Because of Apple's attacks at Microsoft saying that their OS comes with no "fun" programs - viewing pictures, making movies - you can be sure that Vista will include more of those.

Microsoft is forcing gamers to buy Vista by not bringing out Direct 10 for Windows XP. They will want to make Vista only software too so that we will have a need to upgrade.

How much do you reckon Vista is going to cost? I reckon it is going to cost a bomb because it's a new operating software plus they are updating 'everything' for it.
