Windows Windows Vista is everyone's favorite tech punching bag, and not without reason. But the reviled operating system has some amazing potential and with some tweaks and a few utilities, you can do what Redmond didn't: make Vista great.

there is usenet support and some other stuff.


Good thing there's no usenet support for FOSS software...

but windows is fully supported by all hardware manufacturers.


What color is the sky in your world? Good luck getting support from any of the numerous hardware manufacturers when your shiny new equipment does not work or there's a bug in their driver (3rd party drivers are always of the "highest" quality in Windows, arent they). You'll be lucky if they even have a support forum or an updated driver.
I"m not saying FOSS is any better (or worse) but saying Windows is fully vendor supported is, quite frankly, bull.
