I just have to add in the whole "OMG Vista is just a beta you noob" post here. Seriously, look how much any windows installation changes over the course of its birthing into finality. I'm sure the installer for Vista will be much better, although I'm also sure that like all other versions of Windows, no, it will not be perfect.

i agree with you that vista is only in beta stage, but irregardless of that fact, the choices offered to you in the final version will be decided by Microsoft and not you. It seems to me that Windows is certaintly making installation easier but at the same time it is removing choice, and to me, choice is good.

and as regards being a noob, you are dead right ! i'm a noob and proud of it, both windows and linux

No distro is ever "Final", so I suppose I can see the comparison.

I would consider commercial releases final.

When/If Fedora technology is implemented in Redhat, then perhaps it can be compared to the release of Vista. But as it stands now, I'd consider them both in development, thus, a fair comparison.

Eh...sorta...but it's a different sort of "final" than the Windows version of "final". You can download...lets say, slackware 10.1 final the day it is released, then the next day there will be a new branch of "slackware-current", and that will go on every 6 months. It's in constant state of developement that is unlike the Windows model. In a lot of ways it reminds me of what Apple is doing with OS X...only they charge $120 for each new revision and name it after a kitty cat.

Seriously, just because you aren't a n00b at linux doesn't mean that others can't use it. Ubuntu actually works at setting up all my hardware and doesn't wast my time. I have a daylife and don't need to spend hours setting up my network card (hint fedora, which is a lot better than redhat). I get annoyed with people like you thinking everyone is computer literate. Makes noobies at this give up faster. Thank you Linux nerds.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
