Windows 7 Due In 2009 | Are Vista’s Failures To Blame?
,----[ Quote ]
| Vista has many problems, and some of which that should be huge concerns:
|
| * Windows Vista performs very poorly against its younger brother Windows
| XP.
| * Vista has not really had the backing from game developers thus far.
| * Vista is a disappointment when compared to features that were promised
| in development.
| * There have not been any essential features added that would be useful
| to personal usage.
| * Hardware compatibility is still not up to par when compared to XP.
| * Open source alternatives to Vista are equal, if not considerably better
| in quality and security.

Over A Year Later And Windows Vista Is Still Not Worth It
,----[ Quote ]
| So there you go, reasons enough to look elsewhere for your next desktop OS
| and if there was one aspect to the entire desktop OS market that really
| grabbed my attention over the last year it would have to be just how much
| better the alternatives to Windows have become. Both OSX and Ubuntu in
| particular have grow from something I would have only recommended to fellow
| gurus to full-fledged alternatives that in some cases even provide a
| significantly better experience for the desktop user than Windows Vista.
