CNet has reviewed Windows Vista, and the concluded: "Perhaps we're spoiled, but after more than five years of development, there's a definite 'Is that all?' feeling about Windows Vista. Like cramming an info-dump into a book report the night before it's due, there certainly are a lot of individual features within the operating system, but the real value lies in their execution - how the user experiences (or doesn't experience) these - and like the info-dump, we came away shaking our heads, disappointed." Additionally, Vista's OEM pricing details are out and about.

Were I in the market for a new computer -- and I soon might be -- I suppose I'd take a look at Vista, because it would come with any Windows PC I might buy. I won't upgrade my current PC from XP to Vista, however, because I just don't see the benefits being worth the price.
Another viable option is to build my own box, buying hardware that's known to be supported by, and works well with, one of the GNU/Linux distros. I do run the Ubuntu GNU/Linux distro on another box in my little home network, but it's not my primary computer. While I think all the various productivity apps I need are available for GNU/Linux, I haven't actually verified this as yet.
