ITWire: "Linux users can, at times, be the worst kind of ingrates, whining and complaining about what they perceive as missing features in a free operating system. My advice to all such whingers: spend 10 days using the latest version of Windows and you'll realise that you are living in a world of relative bliss."

"Did it really take them five years?"
Yet another statement based on the UI.
And as usual: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista
XP is the frame of reference - not Linux.
Agree. XP is Vista's main competitor.

How is this so wrong? Significant changes in the UI are generally all that the end-user notices versus Win XP. If nothing dramatic enough has changed or n "killer feature" is new _and_ easily usable, then people aren't going to switch. Simple as that.

For most people the choice to select Vista is not a choice about Windows vs. Linux. For most people the choice is down to XP vs. Vista.
As for the differences between XP and Vista I can only say: "Did it really take them five years?"
Vista is in many ways a nice OS, and in some ways a very annoying OS. But personally, it is not at all clear that Vista is the superior OS compared to XP.
XP is the frame of reference - not Linux.
