Vista /is/ XP. Or XP++. Or Service Pack III. And the cost of Vista may easily
exceed its price tag as the hardware requirement are extremely high, and yet
they are not justifies by the added value. Suddenly, even that wreck called
XP seems like a better deal. But people still suffer from Microsoft's fight
against the /visibility/ of Linux. And people get Windows (whichever version
is offered) from the OEM. And buying Windows just because it there is like
shitting your pants because that's where you asshole happens to be.
