This article is also becoming too long. I suggest splitting off the [[Technical features new to Windows Vista#Programmability|Programmability]] section to a new [[New APIs in Windows Vista]] or similar article. That way this article could be shortened. And we could have quite some breathing room to discuss the new APIs as well as scripting and programmability. Also then we would have three articles - one for non-technical users, one for moderately technically savvy users and the other for the hardcore geeks. --<span class="mysigtalk" style="padding: 0.1em; border: 1px solid #F22; background-color: #Fda; color: #000;">''[[User:Soumyasch|<font color="#ff6633">soum</font>]]''</span><sup>''[[User talk:Soumyasch|<font color="white" style="background: #ff6633;">talk</font>]]''</sup> 09:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
: Sorry for taking so long on this! I think a separate article covering Group Policy and management features might be an easier way to go. I say that, because I'm thinking about how a lot of the programming content would replicate stuff that is (or should be) in [[.NET Framework]]. Which bears an interesting question... should we just vastly reduce the amount of text on the .NET 3.0 stuff in this article, and make sure it's well-covered at the main article on the framework?
: Another thought, and this is a bit ambitious (even for us!), would be to integrate information about new APIs into articles about those APIs where appropriate. I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, about how it would make a lot of sense to have a bit of text in, for example, [[Desktop Window Manager]] describing the existance of a programmable API for thumbnails. Code samples would be going a bit far, but a summation with the candour of, say, [[Dashboard (software)#Creation of widgets]], would be nice. The programmability of an operating system feature seems like an important aspect to cover! <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> [[User talk:Warrens|-/-]] [[User:Warrens|Warren]]</span> 11:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
