I have been asked if I can write a few articles about Vista by a local journalist...

Such as how do I find it?
Is it worth upgrading?
What are the benefits of upgrading?
What are the killer features?
What is the security like?
What is like to be a beta tester and the experience?
Would you recommend customers to upgrade when released?

In regards to the NDA's that I have signed with MS for this how much and what can I write about?

Or I suppose more to the point what can't I write about?
(I know I can't write about bugs and vendor driver issues)

BTW: My overall opinion is extremely positive (A few UI issues that I can't quite get my head around)

I suggest you contact Microsoft's press office ... The thing is if you get this wrong Microsoft can and will sue you and likely win.

Doom!

Well, MSFT wouldn't sue you for something that is already pretty well known... but contact their press/PR people.

Things we know for sure:

-New user interface (Aero, Aero Glass)

-Improved sound system

-Improved network stack and networking

-WinFX programming

-Integration with Xbox Live (announced at E3)

-some other stuff

Stick to what is in Beta 2 and you should be okay. Don't publish benchmarks either.

It's not stupid; It's advanced!
Why not write a killer article, and then send it in to the appropreate person at Microsoft to get it secret-checked?

Bite my shiney metal a$$!
Write that it's total crap, and send it to Steve Balmer for approval.
