Were not Beta 2 yet, but were extremly close people!

Vista is looking fun and working well.

Flip3d (shown in the pic) will be a way of making the whole environment clearer, cleaner and fun to use.

Microsoft hasn't talked much about the peer-to-peer features that will ship in Windows Vista. But it's talking about one now, which has the working name of Meeting Space. Microsoft's description reads: "Meeting Space allows a meeting participant to quickly create or join a meeting and simply and more securely transfer files or broadcast presentations and documents directly to other participants' personal computers on any shared network." In other words, virtual meetings. Meeting Space, or whatever it will eventually be called, is the first application to harness Microsoft's People Near Me capability, which identifies only people on a nearby subnet. More on this when I've had a chance to actually try it. In this CTP version of Vista (unlike Windows Vista Beta 1), the new "Peer-to-Peer" Control Panel has peer functionality turned off by default.

I could list ENDLESS amounts of vista features coming, the point i am making is this...it won't be empty!

Likely Next week, we thought sooner but they jus now picked the idx build number which will be 5250 So i say give them a week from now or a few days sooner and u might see it , thats if nothing delays it. they did mention they want this one to be a little more polished than 5231
