btw, "Vista download will be available soon", does that mean in a few day when the WinHec is being held? (availible for the public, not just MSDN subscribers)

I think Vista will be available in a few days. Beta 2 is available on Connect for people who have had access to Vista before. I just finished downloading Vista and will be installing it later today.

For those who like to read, there is a link "Windows Vista Product Guide" on this page http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/ which gives some good insight on what Vista is all about - from a general use standpoint.
Note - it is a 60 MB Word document.

When installing Office 2007 it says Outlook 2003 must be uninstalled.
