The Vista problems will only multiply Andrew as circulation of RTM brings it
into more hands. Keep up the excellent posts.

Maybe in the next 15 months, the Vista Team liasons and developers
designated to write will actually post articles on significant components of
Vista in depth on the MSFT sites since they haven't to date.

Maybe more MSKBs will roll out on the components that are RTMing and left
broken with repeat significant bugs completely disregarded.

Maybe the Win RE team will find a way to make Startup Repair significantly
more reliable to get it into a statistical realm with XP's Repair Install.

Maybe a few more of the 300 named OEM Partners will follow Dell's cue and
actually ship OS media instead of the very unreliable recovery CDs and
partitions that result from MSFT's greed and urging them not to ship OS
media.

See Dell's promise on their blog:
