Story: The whys, whats and whens of Vista
I like the question about the on/off state of the computer, I some some R&D in MS that allows a user to turn off the computer and all the windows, their positions, history, documents etc... remained as is so when loading up again it was as if I had never left (great if I need to cook my dinner for an hour or so). I would expect when leaving the computer still on but not functioning that the whole idea of a computer eHome server always-on theory comes into play, everyones heard about controlling and monotoring the home from a portable device remotely but this requires the PC to be on even when out, so this could go some one to that.
Seem as though I will not be able to test the new OS anytime along its development cycle it would be nice to have an official forum on the MS site so users can ask questions and possibly request actions taken, but I guess in Vistas early stages that's not viable, but a forum all the same would be nice.
