Windows Vista, Microsoft's newest operating system, has entered its first beta period and the
company has begun to provide information about the OS at the link below. So far, Microsoft has spent lots of
time talking about how the system will be more secure, more connected, and easier to maintain, but they've been
silent on the answers to questions that we here at Joystiq care about.
We want to know if Minesweeper will finally see an update. It's still the same old Minesweeper from Windows 3.11! We want to know if the computer will stop cheating in Solitaire. We want to know if this system is going to force us to turn off all of the fancy interface widgets just to coax extra frame rate out of our PC games. We've got lots of questions.
More information will be coming soon, of course. We'll certainly be watching this operating system and what it means for the world of PC gaming.
