Tech Files - Vista is here - wow or whoa?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's introduction of Vista, the latest iteration of its
| almost universal Windows operating system, was greeted with cautious
| optimism at best and large yawns for the most part. Soon afterward,
| disinterest grew into moderate dislike, which blossomed into
| outright avoidance in many circles. It's easy to see why.

| If you believe, as many do, that Windows has become a bloated dinosaur,
| and you prefer to run lean and mean, you might want to give Linux a
| try. Finally, if your system isn't that old, and the software you are
| running meets all your needs with regard to speed and connectivity,
| conventional wisdom is right: "If it ain?t broke, don?t fix it!"

| So, in short. If a PC manufacturer were to send me a brand new
| top-of-the line computer for free and it came with Vista I would
| either re-format the hard drive and install XP, or refuse the
| system altogether. And that?s not an exaggeration. Just try me...
|
| But worse than that, considering that eventually XP will simply be
| outdated I'll have no choice but to migrate to a new operating system
| within the next few years. And that system will be Linux.
