Now when you see Vista listed on MSDN or connect....then you know it means something. If Microsoft was smart they'd release their build today...not the 21st....even if to give the illusion of being a day early. -

Hey the blog entry has had a edit
They were not there when I signed up for 'hotpatching'
Now they are...
To take a guess at the MSN AdCenter I would think it is to do with the Microsoft Ad program that they are launching to compete against Google.
Maybe Ad's on your Spaces Blog or in other 'live' sites and software. Hey I might even be able to embed them in my Kahuna mail hosted on Hotmail and sell some e-mail accounts and make some cash in advertising

Yeah, I saw them on Connect too. There's some information on Memex at Research (http://research.microsoft.com/research/pubs/view.aspx?pubid=1009). No idea what Test Program 1 is, probably something that isn't supposed to be there - it's happened with Connect.

Yes friends TestProgram1 can be yours for the low cost of...worse part is I could probably sell it on eBay for a fortune.

Will the CTP get triggered for availability at 12:01 AM or does it become available sometime later in the morning tomorrow?

While Microsoft officials had told its core of elite beta testers to expect the next Windows Vista milestone on Tuesday, February 21, it now looks as Microsoft is now planning on delivering the code later in the week. Our sources are saying Vista Build 5308 will likely be christened the February Community Technology Preview (CTP). And it's now sounding like testers will be able to start playing with that build on Friday or Saturday. Microsoft, for its part, isn't talking publicly about its CTP plans, other than to maintain the next test build will be ready in this calendar quarter.

Popular? Compared to Windows?

Yes. Microsoft is responsible for keeping their product up-to-date. Would you still be happy with Windows 95 today?

Popularity is one thing...
Like said before, people want to upgrade to the latest thing. That's only upgrading, not buying a whole different OS where virtually none of the existing software they have will work. (Granted, some software might not function properly in Vista)
Switching is not an option when an organization has invested tons of money with a MS setup.
Another OS? Windows has been around for ages...

Linux = Very developer = Very left brain:
"The left side of the brain processes information in a linear manner. It processes from part to whole. It takes pieces, lines them up, and arranges them in a logical order; then it draws conclusions. "
Budget: None
Mac = Very Artist = Very right brain
"The right brain processes from whole to parts, holistically. It starts with the answer. It sees the big picture first, not the details."
Budget: Whatever
Windows = Middle brain ? Second Breakfast?
* actually - it may be more:
Linux = technology is raw - changable - mutable - free
Mac = technology is beautiful - elegant - unalterable - expensive
Windows = yaya whatever - gimmie 300 bucks! -

No, Windows is the unalterable one. Apple's got a lot of stuff out there that's user-modifiable, whether it be kernel modifications through kexts (or even recompiling it, not that you'd want to) or Linux-style OSS programs through X11 or hacking on WebKit (Safari).

I think of it more like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Linux...too hot
OSX...too cold
Windows...just right
Maybe according to your chart, Windows isn't "middle brain" but more "both brained..or Whole Minded."
Ever read the book "A Whole New Mind"? It gives excellent insight on the success of thinking with both brains rather than one or the other. -
