I have been both a Windows and Linux user for a long time (I started with Windows 3.1 and RedHat 5.1 kernel 2.0.x if I recall correctly) and have stuck with both for various reasons. I'm writing this article not as a DIY lofty vantage platform by which I can bash MS nor as a 'Why you should switched' flame bate piece, but have tried to keep an open mind and reflect the actually experience that I have had with Vista so far, regardless of OS political propaganda. Please keep in mind this is still an opinion piece and most probably to be taken with a pinch of salt.

And why not? It is a similar upgrade as far as the actual scope of what's new, etc...

Vista takes no more hardware than the current OSX.

Hmm, this is news to me. I run OSX 10.4 on a 5 year old PowerMac G4 with NV17 very well. So I can smoothly run Vista on a 1GHz cpu with a NV17 video card? Great :-)
