Yesterday we reported on 'Ten Reasons Not to Get Vista', featuring two rebuttals. APCMag, the publisher of the first article, now also published a rebuttal. "I've been running Vista at APC since the earliest leaked builds, and witnessed its extraordinary evolution as Microsoft meandered its way towards the final product. Sure, the earlier versions included some bold features which were dropped for the sake of familiarity in the final version, but there's still lots to appreciate about the 'RTM' version of Vista. I'm not talking here about a nicer user interface or security - I figure APC readers already know how to run a secure XP box and how to de-Fisher-Price it. Here are the real benefits: things that will actually make a difference to you day-to-day." Instant Update: The original author has now published a rebuttal to the two rebuttals. Isn't the internet fun?

I only see a few I personally give a damn about.
Namely:
2. Image-based install
Very nice for us IT folk, but let's be serious here. How often does Joe User bother to install Windows anyway? Maybe once every couple years if ever?
4. Desktop search and search folders built in
Nothing that can't be added with third party software, mind you, but still nice to have for those of us spoiled by Spotlight and Beagle
6. Rock-solid laptop encryption
Should be obvious.
