Comparisons, conjecture, and controversy. Microsoft's new operating system is here, but is it ready for primetime? We spent 30 days with Windows Vista to see if it's worth the leap or if Microsoft should go back to the drawing board.

I was expecting this to be an article that would explain that Vista isn't as bad as some have made it out to be. But it turned out to be one of the most damning Vista reviews I've ever read. He tried not to lay it on too thick, and he tried show all the angles, but his experiences are just shockingly horrible. I can't believe that Vista could be so severely unstable, and I would expect a reviewer to seek support from Microsoft if he were experiencing such serious issues.
I think the takeaway is that Vista is all over the map. Some people have great experiences with it, some could take it or leave it, others have some legitimate gripes, and all too many experience unacceptable problems. If it wasn't hard enough to see past the hype and animosity surrounding Vista, the prospective buyer has to contend with the wildly different conclusions of seemingly objective reviews. You don't know if Vista will be the best $300 you've ever spent, the worst OS you've ever run, or just a waste of money.
Apparently, out on the Vista, your mileage may vary.
