Vista Upgrade: The Not-So-Rosy Picture
,----[ Quote ]
| Things aren't looking so hot for Vista's right-around-the corner
| release. There are a slew of reports from PC World and other IDG
| companies that make me wonder if Vista's rough edges are going
| to keep lots of people from upgrading. (I have to do it and I'll
| give you my impressions soon.)

Is Windows Vista Irrelevant?
,----[ Quote ]
| Do you need Windows Vista? Actually you don?t, but Microsoft
| desperately wants you to want it. So do PC manufacturers who've
| been sitting, nervously twiddling their thumbs while they wait
| for you to get off your keisters and start buying PCs again. Maybea
| better question is, is Windows Vista still relevant?

Vista's pretty, but it's a shameless Mac OS X imitator
,----[ Quote ]
| But after waiting five years -- as in half a decade -- for this
| thing, I think I should get something revolutionary, a PC
| operating system so astonishing it makes the competition look
| laughably primitive. The almighty Microsoft made this, right?
| So Vista -- being released to consumers Tuesday -- has to be
| jaw-droppingly superior, right?
|
| Well, it's not.

Windows Vista: Where Is The Wow?
,----[ Quote ]
| But when it comes to Windows Vista, try as I might, I really can't
| see what or where the "Wow" dose is. What does Windows Vista bring?
| I reckon there aren't many users who don?t know that yet, but let's
| look over the info again.
