The bottom line for me is Vista doesn’t offer me anything that makes me want to upgrade from XP. I don’t care about the new UI – I use the classic UI in XP and would do the same in Vista. I don’t want a sidebar or widgets, I don’t want Aero, and I don’t want additional DRM.

The “improved” security features are an annoyance to me, and should be to anyone with common since. Sure, they might help my parrents and grandparrents from doing something stupid. But for a real power user, these features just get turned off…

So after you disable all of this, what are you left with? A version of XP that still uses more resources, and still has compatibility issues with software and drivers. – Granted there are other people besides Microsoft that are to blame for compatibility problems… but for many, XP just works.

It was the something with NT4 and Windows Server. Why upgrade to the new version when what you have does absolutely everything you want/need.

Its about time they stood up for themselves. I use it and don’t understand what the problem is. I couldn’t care less about Vista, XP, Mac, Linux or anything else but I just happen to have Vista and I never get crashes or poor performance.

Admittedly it’s not as radical as MS want us to believe but it has a few nice tweaks and, at least for me, very few problems…

I think its not going to make much difference because people haven’t used the actual product, they have just seen the demo and Vista usually looks cool in demos only, but lets hope for the best.

Yeah, it’s a PR stunt… and a bad one IMO. The people they picked… well, to be honest, look and sound like idiots. This doesn’t make me want to switch to Vista, it makes me want to claw out my eyes.
