While working in a Google Doc on my Windows Vista computer, I noticed something new. It seems cut and paste doesn’t fully work. By ‘fully’ I mean that it works if you use keyboard shortcuts (ctrl-c, ctrl-v), or by choosing copy or paste from the Edit menu, but not if you right-click and choose copy or paste.

Have you tried Vista yet? Available so far in beta versions, Vista has been released to manufacturing and enterprise accounts will be getting their hands on it very soon. Consumers won’t have to wait much longer, as early next year they’ll be able to buy it as well.

We’re going to be hearing a lot about Windows Vista over the next few years (based on Windows XP’s lifespan, many more than a few!), but right now most of us don’t know much. The Carnival of Vista is a way to start sharing information about Windows Vista. Articles can include any number of topics, as long as they are somehow related to Vista. Typical topics could include but are not limited to:

• installation
• configuration
• security
• useability
• tips and tricks
• problems/troubleshooting

Carnival of Vista will start as a monthly carnival, and depending on popularity could move to a bi-weekly edition. If the number of posts gets very large, future submissions may also focus on a more defined range of topics.
