Windows Vista

[stuffradio]

Well guess who just got accepted as a beta tester and will be giving his own feedback on the product . So expect to hear something about Vista within a couple days while I get a feel for it, and try to develop some things for it .

Yep, If I had faster internet I could download Windows Data Managment, or something like that, for free and, you get to keep it.
