Forbes takes a look at Vista, and writes: "More than five years in the making, more than 50 million lines of code. The result? A vista slightly more inspiring than the one over the town dump. The new slogan is: 'The Wow Starts Now', and Microsoft touts new features, many filched shamelessly from Apple's Macintosh. But as with every previous version, there's no wow here, not even in ironic quotes. Vista is at best mildly annoying and at worst makes you want to rush to Redmond, Wash. and rip somebody's liver out." They also look at Office 2007.

Linux desktop (meaning standard KDE desktop like in Suse or Gnome desktop in Ubuntu) is much more usable than Vista. It's not that Windows is bad, XP is quite good and very easy to use but Vista is a step back. Explorer and Control Panel, two most essential parts of user interface, are just horrible mess with incredibly cluttered design and lots of bugs. I suppose that most people reading OSnews are technically competent and there's no reason to be surprised that Linux was recommended before OSX, especially that former one is often considered too restricting.
