Paul Thurrott has a very important article that discusses software that is and isn't compatible with Vista Beta 2. For me the most important software that isn't Vista compatible is Nero 7, but that hasn't kept me from using Vista.

Google Is Experimenting With A New Homepage

It looks like Google is testing a new homepage that will shift some links around and that is about it. There is no official word on if this new homepage was just a Photoshop job or if it is real, but I would say that it looks reasonable enough to be real.
