Windows Vista logo
In the latest Microsoft press release, Microsoft has announced wider public participating in the Windows Vista beta testing program for Release Candidate 1 scheduled to be released this week. They also state Vista is on track for volume license release on November 2006 and general public release on January 2007.

But what is more exciting is that Microsoft has officially announced the retail price estimates for Windows Vista only a few days after the leak by Amazon.
Windows Vista pricing

Certified for Windows VistaThe software assurance logo program for Windows Vista has also been announced. Partners are encouraged to to enroll in the program to take advantage of Microsoft’s marketing opportunity for Vista-ready applications. This should greatly improve the quantity and quality of applications that will be optimized for Windows Vista when launched.

Impact landing ends SMART-1 mission to the Moon
 

3 September 2006
ESA PR 31-2006. Early this morning, a small flash illuminated the surface of the Moon as the European Space Agency’s SMART-1 spacecraft impacted onto the lunar soil, in the ‘Lake of Excellence’ region. The planned impact concluded a successful mission that, in addition to testing innovative space technology, had been conducting a thorough scientific exploration of the Moon for about a year and a half.
 
SMART-1 scientists, engineers and space operations experts witnessed the final moments of the spacecraft’s life in the night between Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 September at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre (ESOC), in Darmstadt, Germany. The confirmation of the impact reached ESOC at 07:42:22 CEST (05:42:22 UT), when ESA’s New Norcia ground station in Australia suddenly lost radio contact with the spacecraft. SMART-1 ended its journey in the Lake of Excellence, in the point situated at 34.4º South latitude and 46.2º West longitude. 
 

SMART-1 liftoff
SMART-1 was launched on 27 September 2003
Note to editors:
 
SMART-1, (Small Mission for Advanced Research and Technology) is the first European mission to the Moon. It was launched on 27 September 2003 on board an Ariane 5 rocket, from the CSG, Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana and reached its destination in November 2004 after following a long spiralling trajectory around Earth.

In this phase, the spacecraft successfully tested for the first time in space the series of advanced technologies it carried on board. The technology demonstration part of the mission was declared successfully concluded when SMART-1 reached the Moon and was captured by the lunar gravity field in mid-November 2004.

SMART-1 started its scientific observations of the Moon in March 2005, running on an elliptical polar orbit that ranged from about 500 to 3000 kilometres over the lunar surface. The instruments on board included a miniaturised imaging camera (AMIE), an X-ray telescope (D-CIXS) to identify the key chemical elements in the lunar surface, an infrared spectrometer (SIR) to chart the Moon’s minerals and an X-ray solar monitor (XSM) to complement the D-CIXS measurements and study the solar variability.

SMART-1 was a small unmanned satellite weighing 366 kilograms and roughly fitting into a cube just 1 metre across, excluding its 14-metre solar panels. It was manufactured by the Swedish Space Corporation, Solna (Sweden), leading a consortium of more than 20 European industrial teams.

SMART-1 impact update
 
3 September 2006
Scientists have received and are analysing the final data gathered by SMART-1 on 2 September, prior to today's Moon impact. This update presents several of the images received, as well as additional images and information from the worldwide ground observation campaign.
 
The seven AMIE images included in this update article were taken on 2 September by the AMIE camera on board SMART-1 during the last few orbits prior to Moon impact. They were taken between 15:19 - 17:34 CEST (17:19 - 19:34 UT) and were analysed by camera scientists during the night of 2-3 September.

To the TechBeta community:

It's official — Windows Vista RC1 is done!

We could not have achieved this milestone without your support. The quantity and quality of feedback and data we received from you has been essential to helping us progress. Thus we wanted you to be the first customers outside of Microsoft to get access to the bits. Next week, a broader set of technical customers will get them via MSDN and TechNet. But you're the first! We wanted to get it into your hands asap so you can start giving us feedback right away.

You'll notice a lot of improvements since Beta 2. We've made some UI adjustments, added more device drivers, and enhanced performance. We're not done yet, however — quality will continue to improve. We'll keep plugging away on application compatibility, as well as fit and finish, until RTM. If you are an ISV, RC1 is the build you should use for certifying your application.

The operating system is in great shape with RC1, but there's still a lot of testing to do. You've come through for us so far, and I'm asking you to once again put the pedal to the metal and send us feedback. Windows Vista is going to touch hundreds of millions of lives all around the world. Thanks for everything you're doing to help us give them the best experience possible.

Moonlight Shadow

The last that ever she saw him,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
He passed on worried and warning,
carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in the riddle last Saturday night,
far away on the other side,
he was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
and she couldn't find how to push through.
The trees that whisper in the evening,
carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Sing the song of sorrow and grieving
carried away by a moonlight shadow.
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun,
far away on the other side,
he was shot six times by a man on the run,
and she couldn,t find how to push through.
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away,
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day.
Four a.m. in the morning,
carried away by a moonlight shadow.
I watched your vision forming,
carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Star was glowin' in a slivery night,
far away on the other side,
will you come to talk to me this night
but she couldn't find how to push through.
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away,
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day.
carried away by a moonlight shadow.
far away on the other side,
but she couldn't find how to push through.
 我译了一下,如有错误之处,请指教。。。嘿嘿。。。
 
--------此歌讲述的是一个悲惨的故事,男主人公遇害,女主人公独自面对生活的悲与苦,从此天各一方不能相见!------
最后一次见到他
月夜带走了他
他带着忧郁和警示离开了人世
消失在月夜迷失在星期六的夜晚
从此天各一方
在拼死的搏斗中他被抓住,而他却不知如何度过难关
夜晚树在私语,月夜带走了他,唱着悲伤的歌曲,消失在月夜。
他看到一支枪,在遥远的另一端
他被在逃的男子打中六枪
而她却不知道该如何解决
我坚信我祈祷,会在遥远的天堂见到你
我坚信我祈祷,某一天我会在天堂遇见你
凌晨四点月夜带走了他
我看着你的眼睛消失在月夜
深黑色的夜晚星星在微微的闪动
在遥远的地方
这样的夜晚
你愿意和我达成共识吗
但她却不知道如何去面对!
    这首moonlight shadow 充满东欧民谣气息,一丝丝的空灵,一开始就是模糊中透着清晰的钢琴,然后是纯净的声音从云端穿越而来,这声音和月光一样纯净,如雨后的空气那样清新,让我们不知不觉沉浸在美妙纯净的声音里!
 

Verse 1-
The last that ever she saw him, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
He passed on worried and warning, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night, far away on the other side,
he was caught in the middle of a desperate fight, and she couldn't find how to push through.

Verse 2-
The trees that whisper in the evening, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Sing the song of sorrow and grieving, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun, far away on the other side,
He was shot six times by a man on the run, and she couldn't find how to push through.

Chorus:
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away.
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day.

Verse 3-
Four a.m. in the morning, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
I watched your vision forming, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Star was glowin' in a silvery night, far away on the other side,
Will you come to talk to me this night, but she couldn't find how to push through.

Chorus:
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away,
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day.
