Beta testing for Vista SP1 is announced before Vista actually ships? Come on, I know even the best software will have unforseen problems but this is ridiculous. If you have a service pack worth of problems before launch, the software isn't ready for launch. The old rule of thumb is that you never try a new Microsoft OS until the first service pack. I think this may have to be amended to the second service pack, if at all. All Microsoft bashing aside, it seems to be observable fact that Vista has been shoved down the birth canal prematurely.

Once installed, go to Components, you can choose to download and install WAIK.

It is really not fun to be an early adopter of Microsoft technology these days. This is interesting. It is really not fun to be an early adopter of Microsoft technology these days.

Kinda like trying to find a page with instructions on how to deploy Office 2007 via Group Policy. The page is not there. On one forum I visited, someone mentioned it was up for awhile but was taken down not long after. Some have stated that the instructions they had provided didn't work correctly and then suddenly the page was gone. MS seems to be truly pushing things. Meeting dates and revenue/profit numbers for stockholders seems to be more important than having enough staff to get these things done in the proper manner. Ha!
