Although most of the attention these days is focused on where things are with Windows 7, Microsoft is getting closer to releasing the next update for Windows Vista. On Wednesday, Microsoft offered some technical testers a near-final “release candidate” version of the Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2. The company did not say when that version might be made publicly available.

Microsoft Corp. has denied that it makes money when users “downgrade” Windows Vista to the older XP, as a lawsuit filed last week alleges.The lawsuit, submitted to a Seattle federal court last Wednesday, stems from the $59.25 fee that a California woman was charged in mid-2008 when she bought a Lenovo laptop and downgraded from Vista to XP.

For the first time, I have Windows Vista installed on “enough” hardware to make it fly. Up until now, I’ve found it OK for the most part, although slow at times, but now that I’ve seen what it can do on the “right” hardware, it’s really quite nice. Even UAC prompts aren’t bothersome when they happen instantly: what really annoyed me about UAC on my other Vista machines was that the computer would go into slow motion as it got ready to darken the screen and display the prompt.

A woman is suing Microsoft for allegedly charging her extra to downgrade from Windows Vista to XP. Emma Alvarado bought a laptop pre-loaded with the Vista Business edition of the operating system from Lenovo on 20 June 2008. However, she didn’t want to keep Vista on the machine so she paid the computer vendor an additional $59.25 in order to downgrade the OS to XP Professional.
