Windows Vista Beta 2 is expected this week for WinHEC attendees, but is it going to be enough for testers? Some believe that Microsoft will not be able to step up and deliver what is expected at this point.

It looks like Microsoft is going to try and jazz up the way bulleted lists can be formatted in Excel by providing SmartArt. It is considered "smart" because it will adjust the appearance of the bulleted list based on the theme you choose for your spreadsheet. There are several different 2-D effects and 3-D effects that you can play with until your heart is content.
