Hi there. I did not personally leak any of the images. As for the ones from Neowin and Gizmodo, I have sourced them and not sure where they got them.

Sometime this December. You can get it through Windows Connect but it's probably not listed yet. Subscribe to the RSS so you don't forget =)

What exactly was different about Vista than XP? UAC, parental control, and a bunch of crap no body uses like meeting spaces...

Well Vista just really sucked when it came out. After SP1, it was a lot more stable and improved. I'm with you on the features though, Vista wasn't much different from XP besides higher system requirements.

If Microsoft had stopped at deciding to include jumbo icons in the taskbar, they would have been labelled as Mac copycats. But this new concept of hovering, peeking, and grouping thumbnails is a really good idea. I'm not sure if I'll be using it because I still disable grouping on every computer I use - I just don't see how it makes you more productive. I sure hope they will allow you to revert back to the classic taskbar as well. Peeking, gadgets, and windows explorer, and especially UAC all have great improvements. But as you said, most of the improvements are what should have been in Vista anyway. So nothing here blows me away. Microsoft better have a lot more up their sleeves, or we're looking at another crap release here
