主要新的特點在beta 2是：

Firefox支持：
我們現在支持Firefox。 甜。 如果您使用Firefox參觀HD視圖站點，例如我們的Gigapixel頁，您現在將被提示安裝Firefox插入式。 安裝頁為Firefox和新的IE直接地也是可利用的這裡插入式這裡。 我工作與大多數我們的夥伴的讓他們做對支持Firefox的必要的變化。

自動口氣調整：
基本思想是HD視圖現在行動像自動獲取您的照相機。 至於您迅速移動入您應該看另外的陰影細節的黑暗的地區。 它實際上老練比自動獲取和一般引起好看圖像。 例如在平展歸結於陰霾大圖像的地區，汽車口氣調整特點增量對比。

其他特點：
beta 1 XP下載是1.5MB。 Beta2現在是更小的。 現在有唯一500KB下載為窗口的所有支持的版本。 我們也修理了幾個臭蟲，像`被截去的透視』圖像，當ON放大，國際permalinks時，工具打翻沒出現和+/-或箭頭熱鍵有時不運作。

I was watching Bill Gate’s keynote speech from CES yesterday and it got me excited again about new things coming out from Microsoft. I was particularly impressed with the Vista demo and some of the features that will be included with it. URGE was my favorite topic though! I was excited to hear that I would soon be able to sign-up and download music from the URGE music service (a partnership with Microsoft and MTV Networks)! If you haven’t seen the demo anywhere else, it may be worthwhile to watch the 1.5 hr. keynote speech. There’s a demo of the XBox 360 where Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer re-enact a boxing mach between Ali and Frazier! You have to watch to see who wins!

I was looking at the Microsoft site today and stumbled upon a link to the Windows Live Betas. The betas look nice and there’s news that there is a MSN Messenger Live beta coming soon. It will be interesting to see how these Live services will change the way that we do things online. The betas are broken down individually and each one has a link to learn more.

Ultra-Tech has two great articles on the next offerings from MS for Vista. Slated for a 4th Quarter 2006 release, Vista will be available in multiple configurations:
Vists Product Editions Breakdown:  Microsoft Reveals Vista Product Editions

Another great article from that site: Ten reasons to buy Windows Vista 

Microsoft is on track to release a Windows XP version of Windows Media Player 11 before the end of June, the company confirmed last week.

Microsoft says that URGE is deeply integrated with WMP11. Will it still be available before Vista?

Well, even if Vista is delayed, you don't have to wait to see WMP11! Yay!
