Windows Vista available for download

Windows Vista is now available for download for msdn subscribers. Prior to the launch, Microsoft announced that Longhorn will be known as Windows Vista. When I went to download Vista, curiously it was referred to as Windows Longhorn Professional Edition Beta 1 (Windows Vista). Well that's cleared that one up then!

As we speak, my copy is being downloaded and I am looking forward to getting my hands on it. Having said that, there's Visual Studio.Net 2005 to look at, not to mention SQL Server 2005, .NET framework 2...... All promising hours of configuration hell.

There is also a lovely homepage for Vista. Go get it ...

I can sleep easy tonight

The country is a lot safer now following my bag search on the tube today. I think my blonde skin-head and pasty white complexion make me look like a stereotypical terrorist. I will sleep allot safer tonight knowing that the police are targeting likely looking terrorists.
