Vista, in its entirety, has become one big stack of application
updates. No real improvements to the OS, just lots of bloat. I could
add most of Vista's programs to XP_SP2 and have most of the
functionality of Vista, with better performance. Internet Explorer 7,
Windows Media Player 11, Windows Desktop Search, and Windows PowerShell
(Monad) are all available for Windows XP. WinFS will be upon release,
according to earlier announcements from Microsoft. So why run Vista?
Maybe so its frosted-glass GUI and ridiculous Sidebar application can
eat up whatever system resources are left on my PC...
