Windows Vista - My Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Vista is not the milestone that Microsoft made it out to be. With the 
| exception of a handful of nice features and a new look, Vista really does not 
| offer that much that XP couldn't. There are very few items that Vista offers 
| that couldn't have been supplied through a system update in XP. The 
| improvements from XP to Vista pale in comparison to the improvements between 
| Office XP and Office 2007 (but that's probably a review meant for another 
| day).      
| 
| I will admit that I like Vista as much as I could like an MS operating 
| system. However, I still would prefer using SuSE with KDE if it was possible 
| to do that realistically.

Vista Aero: Linux Is Eating Your Lunch

| Take a look at this screengrab from an AMD machine running Linux.
| What are we seeing? Wobbly, transparent windows, hot UI effects, an
| amazing 3D task switcher, and enough eye-candy to make Vista Ultimatel
| ook like Midnight Commander.
| 
| I'm not saying we all go out and pick up a copy of Ubuntu, but maybe
| that's actually what I'm saying.

The Longest Suicide Note in History

| Gutmann: The genie's out of the bottle before the operating system has even
| been released! But that doesn't mean Vista users in particular - and
| the computer community at large - won't end up paying for Microsoft's
| DRM folly. At the risk of repeating myself repeating myself, yet
| another reason to move to Linux.
