3.7.2008 Full Review: Windows Vista December CTP
Love-him-hate-him Paul Thurrot has released a four part in-depth review of Vista's December CTP. "I think people are going to be surprised by how good the Windows Vista December 2005 Community Technical Preview (CTP, or build 5270) really is.
After years of painful delays and an uncertain couple of months since the last CTP, Microsoft shipped a near-feature-complete Vista build to testers this week, and the prognosis is extremely positive. From what I can see, Vista has turned the corner. The December CTP is an exciting release, stable and full of new features. In this review, I'll examine those new features, and the features that have changed since the previous CTP, build 5231"

"It's creating interest, buzz, and
just getting people talking about Windows," said Craig Cincotta, a senior Windows product manager, via phone this afternoon. "When people see what
we're doing with some of the other elements that are going to be coming out ... our approach to it will continue to make even more sense."

Microsoft may not have enabled this by default because of potential hardware issues, but that doesnt make sense because the minimum video card
requirements to even run Vista should handle the new bootscreen without any problem. In either case, here is how to make Vista look that much cooler
with the "Aurora" bootscreen...
