For anyone who's interested, Windows Vista is the new name for the product code named Longhorn. It's due out next year.
Probably be 2007 before people start to deploy it on a large scale in business environments.

"Dumbness" is not a word I'd use when describing you.
Ask as much questions as you like because it's "dumb" not to.

When you open the site eamo posted, click on the little pictures to see large screen shots of what the new Operating System from Microsoft will look like.

The site is a computer magazine and they review new products in the same way that a car magazine would.

So far so meh... are all the changes just cosmetic or is there something radical under the hood?

It takes shorter to start up.

It is laid-out differently so modern virus' and worms won't do as much damage (although it won't be long till someone makes a new one that will do as much damage).

It sees problems earlier so can deal with it rather than "Not responding"

Also, as thejollyrodger says, there's tabbed browsing in internet explorer 7. Kinda shows that microsoft are kinda scared of firefox.

You wont need Vista to run IE 7 as far as I know.
*EDIT* It will be available in a standalone version for Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Hardly! It simply shows that Microsoft take the good ideas of others and cram them into their own products.
