Interesting free app from Microsoft, the ‘Location Finder.’ Does a lookup of your location based on your WiFi access point or IP lookup and displays your position on MSN Virtual Earth.

Interesting commentary and insight on Longhorn UI. Sean Alexander of MSFT takes note of a positive report from eWeek on the just released beta.

Windows Vista is the best-looking OS Microsoft has ever produced and is competitive with, and in some ways better, than Apple’s recently-introduced Mac OS X 10.4, aka Tiger.

That’s great. That’s super. But one would expect a beta product far from general release with close to two years of development left to be at least on par with a shipping product to tens of millions of users. The UI changes are spiffy in Vista – PC Magazine has a good overview on the UI changes alone.
