Windows Vista December 2005 CTP (Build 5270) Review (suite & fin)...

Part 3: New features

As we get closer and closer to a feature-complete version of Windows Vista--which Microsoft will complete in late December, but testers should see by the February CTP--eager Windows users around the globe wonder what feature-set, exactly, will constitute the next Windows client release. Part of the answer can be found in my showcase, Windows Vista Product Editions Preview, which spells out which features will be found in each upcoming Windows Vista version. But in the December CTP, which represents the Vista Ultimate Edition, we can already see a wide range of new features which weren't present in previous builds. In this third part of my Vista December 2005 CTP review, I'll look at some of those new features.

Part 2: Bundled Applications

Last weekend, I was prepping this review, which I originally envisioned as a single document, similar to my preview two CTP reviews. However, by the time I had installed build 5270 on Monday, I realized there was no way I could condense this thing into a single document. There's just too much going on in build 5270. While that made life a bit difficult for me, it speaks well to the improvements Microsoft has made to the product, and I've been happy to document my experiences with this build here. It hasn't always been this pleasant, believe me.

In this fourth and final part of my Windows Vista build 5270 review, I'll touch on a few additional topics that I didn't cover in the previous installments, look ahead to the next CTP, and provide some closing thoughts.
