I think you'll see a lot of valid signals.
I think this elite signal to noise moniker is over worked. There have
been more signals than you and others give credit to, but a lot of people
are jaded because they first read the same stuff, some of it a phrased in a
little bit more sophisticated way on the TBT groups, with some of it on
those groups not phrased in a more sophisticated way, and a lot of noise on
the TBT groups as well, suprise surprise, (the old adage that most people
weren't born congentially sophisticated but had to learn to deal with
glitches by experience so those who had it in July of 05 made the same
quacks and asked for the same help--plenty of them couldn't get Vista up
onto their screens as I look at their crys for help and this included MVPs
who couldn't as well by the way).
So let's not kid ourselves that everything that comes from more experienced
people is noise free, or that they are the chosen ones, lol or that they
didn't have many of the same problems, or that many of them didn't cry out
for freebe Vista on the Beta groups just as we see people now asking for
freebies and a rather intrepid backlash on the web to the expense and
licensing of Office 2007 and Vista I might ad having watched this for years.
They'll be echoing problems with the features that never were; and the
features that shipped broken, and the good idea crashed into the ground in
execution UAC.
People also will discover that whatever junk is shipped by the OEMs because
they don't have the guts and foresight to say "No--I refuse to let MSFT
screw me for six more years. I demand a DVD with Vista on it not that
ridiculous recovery garbage" they will have no means to reach startup
repair, and for the number that do--the TBTs like you who burned an RTM iso
already, and various and sundry groups who got free Vista by one means or
another MVPs, TAP, and programs with assorted less known acronyms and
abbreviations, they'll find that unlike a repair install in Win XP, Win RE
doesn't work much of the time.
That'd be this from PM Desmond Lee's team:
