Michael from PC Mag spend some time with the first beta version of Windows Vista which was released to beta testers on Wednesday and write an article about his impressions. Here's a snip:

This version, aimed at developers and IT shops, lacks many features that the final Windows Vista, still over a year away, will have. But it has all the basic foundations of the OS and displays Microsoft's new emphasis on making a system that will be more stable and secure, as well as giving users greater clarity as regards their files. This "clear vision" is what Microsoft says is reflected in the Vista name.
