[...] Nick White (image credit) from the Windows Vista team blog posted these rendered shots of the packaging cases for Windows Vista and Office 2007. As Robert McLaws also pointed out, I was (nearly) right with my original assumptions for the packaging. Regardless, they’re unique and aesthetically pleasing.

[...] E vogliamo spendere un paio di righe su come lo stesso Zheng ha scoperto come sarà fatta la scatola di Windows Vista che troveremo nei negozi? In Italia abbiamo una manciata in estinzione di tech evangelist ostinati e instancabili, che macinano codice e documentazione a palate prima di scrivere una parola che sia una in pubblico. Naturalmente, non li legge nessuno, ma è questa la gente che ci piace. La stessa gente che, quando ne ha abbastanza di sbattersi, siede il fondoschiena su una poltrona dietro il vetrocemento del palazzo di qualche blue chip tecnologica e lascia noi mortali ad ascoltare una mortadella che balbetta in televisione.

Yes I am convinced from firstly ever seeing that icon that it represents an accurate depiction of Vista’s packaging. It’s seen as the “Welcome Center” icon from recent builds (including RC1) and used as the DVD icon upon installation. Judging from the icon, it seems that the package will be a nice shaped plastic DVD case and the eject tab will reveal an insert featuring ‘eye candy’ screenshots and marketing lingo to lure the consumer into lusting and purchasing the Microsoft OS.

Im hoping that the Microsoft PR team and marketing department will deliver Vista spectacularly. Well with no doubt they are anticipating the launch to be as significant as Win95 and are spending $$$$ so expect something!
