Months go, I reviewed Windows Vista, and concluded: "All in all, I am impressed by Windows Vista [...]. Windows Vista is better than XP, and definitely more than just an improved look as many say." After 5 months of usage, it is time to put that statement into perspective.

I know people who are now saving for a more expensive computer so they can run Vista... they're afraid of being "left behind".
I really don't understand this... MS products -hide- the way computers work from their users (example... shortcuts, "hide file extensions for registered file types", etc.) So how is updating Windows going to keep one from becoming technically "left behind"?
The author mentions "free", but not "freedom". As in the freedom of knowlege one gains the right to by using free software. This fact alone would stop me from using Vista, no matter how well it works.
IMHO too many of us are either brand-blinded into believing Windows is the only way, too dumb to think beyond the logo, too afraid to make the attempt to gain back control of the computer technology that's changing our lives (mostly for the worse), or simply too downtrodden and apathetic to care.
