No wonder it took long to get Vista ready for release

now if I understood that correctly, microsoft had a team of 8 people designing just the shutdown menu for Vista, + 16 people to help them with it. So a total of 24 people involved in doing the shutdown menu! Now the best part, took them 1 year...

It does take a lot of hardwork to create Windows considering how much code is put into it. As for being expensive, I'm not suprised. Windows XP was just as expensive when it released back in 2001.

yeah, but one year and 24 people to create the shutdown menu? Now I don't know anything about programming, but seems to me that the shutdown menu is quite a small job compared to the rest of the OS.

If I ever ran MS, i'd say this code the damn thing and stop groofing about.

the start menu wasnt working properly sometimes in some of the betas

It's a beta. Things are supposed to be glitchy in beta software. If it didn't have glitches, then it wouldn't be in beta testing. It would be the final release.

yeah people would just run the beta instead of paying for the final version
