"It's all too easy to get caught up in the million dollar marketing engine as we approach the consumer release of Windows Vista, so lets not forget that it isn't the second coming, and by all counts is an upgrade you can do without. There are many lists out there on why to get Vista, so here's ours on why not to." Update: I have written a rebuttal on my weblog. Update II: Another rebuttal.

Ok, let's say that's true for you (don't really know why, but that's your opinion). What are you going to do when you need to buy a new PC? Install the wonderful Windows 2000 on it? Doesn't work. Install the great Windows XP on it? Won't probably work either - simply because there won't be enough drivers. What are you going to do then? I'll tell you what you are going to do: Start up the PC with Vista and use it for the nest 3 - 4 years.
That's how it has always worked for MS - people are lazy in general and therefore cannot grasp that there are enough alternatives around. But it's funny to listen to all these people condemning Vista and hailing the wonderful 2000 or XP ...
