Before you assume that Microsoft has not learned from Vista, go read Steven Sinofsky's blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/e7. For those that don't know, Steven was the guy who led the Office team for many years and took over the Windows team after Vista shipped. It would be an understatement of gigantic proportions to say that he's shaken things up a bit!

The Windows team hasn't had this kinda shakeup since Brian Valentine took hold of the team building Windows 2000 and helped stop them falling off a cliff. Steven brings a whole new approach to developing product, breathing some much needed discipline and some much appreciated passion and pride back into the Windows org.

Reading through his blog will give you a taste of just how much more effective, more thorough, more professional and more empowered the Windows team now are under his enormously capable leadership.
