I don't have any complaints with Vista performance. Besides its not always about performance. Vista stability & security is better than XP and if that means eating a few more CPU cycles, than so be it.

I believe terminology might be the cause of confusion. If the article is focused on which will be the defacto standard built-in into everyday laptops then sure, I agree 802.11n will be king. And yes, Intel has indicated they want to embed WiMax in every laptop as part of their Centrino initiative. But from what I have read, Intel is also embracing 802.11n. So in the end, Centrino will have 802.11n perhaps both. There is some debate about whos 802.11n might become the defacto standard. And in that, their might be some truth that Intel is lagging.
Lets be clear WiMAX competition is not from 802x but from cellular technologies like CDMA. As a consumer, I'm looking forward to the benefits of this competition.

Maybe I am missing the point of this article. But I thought WiMAX and 802.11n were targeting two very different markets. WiMAX goes the distance (last mile replacement) and 802.11n will be the official speed king. So what has changed?
Here in S.Florida, we really could use both. WiMAX to help establish a reliable category-3 broadband connection that is resilent to hurricane's toppling trees and wired infrastructure. 802.11n for on-premises high speed connectivity.

I didn't find it embarrassing at all as you seem to indicate. Most of us who have RTM builds are either planning Vista deployments in our organization or in the final stages of releasing Vista products/updates. My company will not be making the announcement until January. I have to give creds to Microsoft for taking a chance to shake things up (mostly on their end at this point) and all the work they have accomplished these past 12 months. As far a Zune/Vista compatibility..as you report, it will be there in several weeks. It seems fair to me.
