   We are all waiting for windows vista to be launched. It amazing to read about the new features and improvements made on the existing one.

   Why or why does Australia get left out of the WOWSTARTSNOW contest... aren't we cool enough to play?

   mrmckeb: I'm not an employee of Microsoft or anything, but competitions are under tight regulations in Canada and this may apply to Australia too. It's difficult for an international company to create a competition which operates legally in many countries.

   Dear Microsoft: the contest "submit" page does not work in Firefox with Adblock Plus. (I get the header and footer graphics with blank space in between.)

   I am waiting to be Wowed.  I have RTM, lots of good stuff, good icons, love the new task bar/startmenu, etc.  But, hopefully by RTM MS will have some updates that just fix some issues for users who are not blind.  Window's mail is ugly and hard to read with that dumb blue bar at the top, way too bright, looks terrible.  All the apps have major consistency issues.  Toolbars don’t need to be different colors, they don’t need to be different heights.  Clean it up!!!

   Also, changing the color scheme is useless when the tool bar colors don’t change with it, I mean this across the board.  Also, why is it that the active window always has a neon blue outline no matter what color I have my appearance set to?  The background window changes, but not the active?  This is REALLY basic newbie stuff.  Just open your eyes, and start writing down.  I would love to see Vista become a vision of beauty, not the collage it is now.

   The office team can do this, the xbox team can do this, that fruit company can do this in their sleep, fix fix fix!!!!

   RC1 has seen good improvement. Launch seminars provided a lot of useful info. Hope the real product can get me excited

   Small note:  the "Loading" message of the http://www.showusyourwow.com/flash.aspx?l=fr-fr Windows Flip contains a mistake in french : "Chargement en cour" : "courS" takes a "S" at the end.

   Good Read. The question I have is should i wait to buy a PC or should I buy one now and then upgrade? I want to have the best Vista experience so this is confusing to me.

    Hey mrmckeb:  Australia will actually be hosting a special local program, so keep an eye out for it.
