"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.

I keep reading stuff like this. People actually using Vista and finding it really isn't a worthwhile upgrade :
"Three days into full-time Windows Vista usage, and already the Sidebar is making me crazy. Windows Gadgets are ultimately not much more than distracting eye candy."

Oh and real life snippets from sources I trust like the above are much more convincing to me than "DRM" and "draconian license". Save those for when you're adressing the ubergeeks, other people don't care (not saying they shouldn't though)
