Free Vista Screenshots

Jun 30, '06  ·  25 Comments Tags: , .

I like to think of myself as open-minded and a share-alike kinda guy, which is why I don’t get Paul’s response the other day. Luckily like-minded people exist, and Stewart was kind enough to come through for me and provide a whole slew of new Vista screenshots.

And not only are these open source, royalty free, do-what-you-please, can’t-steal-if-you-wanted-to screenshots. They’re also not resized and compressed like Paul’s are, so it’s kind of a win-win situation for all. So now I can exchange Paul’s shots with these, and Paul can go back to rating games with his own head. Win-win.

I’ve also uploaded all the screenshots to a flickr set on my own account where I’ll be commenting on them as soon as I get the time.

PS: You can get Vista Beta 2 for yourself and create even more screenshots, as long as you hurry!

Dear God, the worst headline ever! But yeah, I promised Christoffer Alm I would tell him in no unsure terms why I think Windows Vista likes goats, and by golly here we go (screenshots from Thurrott’s Supersite for Windows, where you will find not only more screenshots, but also Paul’s insightful commentary on the status of Windows Vista Beta 2):

Tim Burton’s Superman

Back in the late 90’s, Tim Burton was involved with a new Superman movie though nothing ever came of it. And thank God for that. (Also remember to watch Kevin Smith talking about his involvement with Superman back then).
