With the announcement of Longhorn's official name, Microsoft has left
many users asking: Why Windows Vista?

Hi Rick,

Sorry, I don't have any advertisers on VistaArticles.com , and I don't
plan to have anytime soon. :-)

Then your goal for posting unofficial information is....?

Oh, and by the way, in reference to one of your other posts, MSDN
subscribers only have access to the pre-release version of Longhorn that is
missing much of the new user UI, and is meant only for developers. There is
nothing available as yet to subscribers for the upcoming beta (which is
several generations beyond the Winhec prerelease). At most, subscribers
*may* (but not necessarily) get access to a release candidate, but there are
no guarantees. As to recommending signing up for the beta, that is best left
to those who are willing to risk their machines and data, can put in the
time to actively participate, and has enough knowledge to bug a system - a
home user who is not willing to periodically format and clean install the
system should *not* apply for this. Beta's, especially early on, can totally
hose a system.

I would think that before long, you will be hearing from Microsoft
concerning copyright violations after they visit your web site.
