What This Site "Is" and "Isn't"

The Elder Geek on Windows Vista will be structured and built very similarly to my other site, The Elder Geek on Windows XP. As I explore and use the various beta builds of Vista leading up to the final release in late 2006 I'll write about those experiences, document what I like and dislike, and gather articles and information that will help support future Vista users. It will be a slow process, just as it was with the XP site, but in time the site will become a valuable resource and a place where you can turn for factual, real life advice and information that hasn't been filtered through publicity and advertising machines. For the time being there will be a lot of blank spaces on the site menu's, but they will fill in rapidly once Vista is finally released.

I don't work for Microsoft or any other technology, news agency, or publishing company. I simply enjoy computers and technology and spend the majority of my time messing with and writing about them. There is nothing 'official' about this site. I don't have any inside sources at Microsoft, I don't attend conferences sponsored by companies, nor do I have a huge organization of people feeding me the latest rumors and news tidbits on a daily basis. There are a lot of sites that specialize in those aspects and I'll mention and link to them frequently. I am a member of the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and find it to be a valuable resource for keeping up with future developments, but what you see and read on this site is 100% my thoughts and opinions from experimenting with Vista. Nothing more, nothing less.
