Andre Da Costa of ActiveWin has just written a very good and objective review on Windows Vista as it now stands. It focuses a lot on consumer-related features, and is quite lengthy at 28 pages. It’s a very good overview of how Vista has matured over the years, and what this long-delayed operating system really is.
NeoSmart Technologies’ own review (originally released for RC1; less for the consumer, more for the techie) can be found here, as well as a screenshot gallery for the visually-inclined.
