Microsoft&#8217;s longest beta to date has taken a lot of our time and effort, but we&#8217;re glad for the minor role we&#8217;ve played to date. It all came at a cost however: NeoSmart Technologies has always been short on staff and money, and it just meant that there wasn&#8217;t enough of either for us to focus on both Vista and other projects and techno-news at once &#8211; that&#8217;s about to change. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, we&#8217;re still going to be covering Vista, our programs will still be there and <a href=\"http:\/\/neosmart.net\/\" rel=\"follow\">our support<\/a> for Vista users will be just as good as ever, but we&#8217;re going to be shifting our main focus from Vista to the rest of the world, to see what&#8217;s new, what&#8217;s changed, and what it all has to offer the world. At NeoSmart Technologies we like to keep things fair and level &#8211; we&#8217;ve given Vista what we felt was it&#8217;s fair-share of attention and scrutiny given the popularity of Windows and it&#8217;s impact on the world at large, but now we&#8217;re taking this opportunity to focus on what we do best: cover everything and get to the core to keep our members informed and in-touch, and that&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;ll do.<\/p>\n<p>As a little &ldquo;teaser&rdquo; of sorts, here&rsquo;s a sneak-peek at what&rsquo;s coming:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Closer scrutiny (read: criticism) of some of the more popular Linux distros.<\/li>\n<li>Exclusive previews and comparisons of the <em>other<\/em> operating systems, because Linux certainly isn&rsquo;t the only one, and isn&rsquo;t necessarily the best.<\/li>\n<li>Guides and reviews on custom-kerneling, it&rsquo;s benefits, and it&rsquo;s hardships.<\/li>\n<li>And if things work out (financially speaking), we&rsquo;ll be offering nifty programs and utilities of our own for the alternate-OS&nbsp;community, and maybe, just maybe, something more &ndash; more on that later though!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vista is wrapping up.
