"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.

It is if that's what you're used to.
So everyone should just do things the Windows way, huh? No thanks, some of us want our computers to work.
Seriously, even if Linux were turned into some sort of Windows clone, have you heard of ReactOS? They started in 1996, and are now up to version 0.3.0. By contrast, by 1998 (at seven years old, rather than the 8 of ReactOS currently) Linux had already implemented most if not all of the non-proprietary parts of Unix, and was even surpassing it in some areas. THAT's how hard writing a Windows clone is.
