The Hindu : Front Page : Vista opens up from Tirunelveli

Why do I find myself so sceptical? Because of the following:

"In all probability, Vista will incorporate Mahesh's creation, which is an image browser, image editor, web browser, system tools and disk manager rolled into one."

"For example, why a computer hangs remains a mystery to most. But Mahesh's product can display the reasons. It can also optimise the download speed of a broadband connection when needed."

To me this sounds like the typical layman reporter's take on a new "product". If this lad really has built something that MS feels should be integrated into Vista, I say "Bravo!" and "About time". But I want details. I want to know how exactly this product - "an image browser, editor, etc., etc." - is better than existing tools.

Another gem - "Unlike other OS, it can also display properties of all the drives in the computer simultaneously." Hmmm...

"It's a full fledged tool that would not only remove deficiencies in Vista but add never-seen features in the OS." Hmmmmmmmmmm...

I want to know more. Has this guy really come up with something revolutionary (that the reporter is simply unable to comprehend and convey to readers)? Or is the reporter being taken for a ride (and is simply unable to comprehend what he is being told and is taking it for granted that something wonderful is happening)?
