While others are concerned about UI frameworks to improve WPF that don't exist yet and Windows versions that are a few years away, and yet while others who consider themselves enterprise "bloggers" but tend to concentrate their comments on Vista's consumer sales. I prefer to look at the other side of the coin and things that are being done with WPF and Vista that really aren't being done anywhere. I really think there is such a negative flow in the press lately because when executed correctly Vista is such a threat to other platforms.
I also believe if people weren't buying Vista, Microsoft would actually be making more of an effort to actually advertising it more and more rushed to fix "problems". I see Microsoft as a very pro-active company, very customer centric, and the comments the press are making at this point don't really seem to be "getting" what's going on here.. As the Gates keynote tells us we are definitely entering the second "Digital Decade" and it's all about technology integration on many different devices. Windows Vista being the common platform uniting all of this integration
Microsoft has been showing of a new feature of Windows Live Photo Gallery, I think this alone underscores some value that you don't get elsewhere. If you haven't installed Windows Live on your computer, this is another great reason to do it...
This is an example of a group of photos stitched together into one panoramic format using Windows Live Photo Gallery (courtesy of Brandon Le Blanc and the Vista Blog).
Windows Live Photo Gallery (a for "free" product) does a great job even better than some commercial products that you have to pay for to get this feature..
