It is more resource hungry, has some UI affect and that's pretty much it. I see no reason for any XP user to upgrade(?) to Vista.

It gives me a much sturdier single-degree of separation to bash Vista from! Me, I knew it was going to be horrible so I stayed with XP when I was forced to use Windows, but the emergence of Vista actually motivated me to use both Mac and Linux as desktops as well... I guess what I'm saying is: thanks for taking that one for the team! It’s nice to see that someone I know has actually taken Vista for a ride and found it lacking.

I wants me some sweet linux lovins. I would say forget Vista :) Use a nice Linux distro like Fedora (my favorite) or Ububtu. You won't feel you are missing anything. Don't forget to install wine for the occasional Windows app or two. > i’m toying with the idea of either scraping of Vista altogether and installing Linux, or partitioning the drive to dual boot.

To be honest, my relationship with Vista was kept rather superficial, and I didn't actually dig deep enough into the heavier tech stuff to be able to complain about it. But I'm sure I'd have stuff to say on it if I had. :) Linux... thanks for the reminder... i'm toying with the idea of either scraping of Vista altogether and installing Linux, or partitioning the drive to dual boot.

Being a techie I was hoping more on the functionality differentiators for you. We (myself and my company) switched to Linux long time back. Initially it was harder to setup to my desire but then my desire was much more than anything I could imagine on Windows. Now I am all happy and satisfied. The rich functionality rocks the sock off windows. A nice flowery article. Being a techie I was hoping more on the functionality differentiators for you.

Sadly, I think I'm just too lazy to leave Mr. Microboring for adventure. Congratulations on the return of your hot stuff! :) If only I could join you for a three-way with that cousin.
