I don’t know about switching to Linux, but I see people not upgrading to Vista until they buy a new computer. I have four computers with XP and my folks have one with XP. I can’t find a need to upgrade any of them to Vista. Maybe I’m missing something, but all the computers we have does everything my wife, daughter, and myself need them to do. My folks computer does everything they need it to do. We have AV and firewall software installed on each. Also using a router with SPI. So far, none of the computers have had a virus. I spent a few minutes educating everyone about opening e-mail attachments and about phishing attacks. XP is very stable for us, no blue screens. XP runs all the software that we want it to run. My machine plays all the games I want. I just don’t see a need to upgrade. I keep reading articles about how Vista will improve security, but so far we have been safe with XP. Why should I switch to anything else (Vista or Linux)?

If I have a Volkswagen that works, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to drive a Ferrari.
I have been using vista for 1 day and I think it’s great.

I just don’t see a Ferria’s worth of new features. It looks more like an Ford Explorer (XP) and Ford Excursion (Vista). Both are SUVs. One may tow a little more, but not enough to justify the upgrade.
Trust me, I’m looking for a good reason to buy Vista when it comes out, but I have to get the approval from the boss (wife) and right now I can’t find a good reason yet.
I’ll keep reading and watching.

there is one majpr flaw with vista at the moment. One minutes software runs on it next it doesn’t.
untill they actually come out with a standard vista that can run software all the time not just when microsoft wants it then i’m not buying it.

RC2 is pretty nice actually… works much better than previous builds…
-
I am waiting for a few important (PA & Alcohol) pieces of software to work on Vista.
After that it’s Vista only for me. I think it works great.

I have used both vista and XP. Hands down I find vista to be a more capable OS. Still new it may have a hickup from time to time but the updates usually resolve this. More options, more customizability, more security and it is really really pretty.
I decided to write this post after watching “i’m a mac, I’m a PC” commercial. I feel this gives a horrible unrealistic view of vista. Before judging vista, try it! If you still don’t enjoy the environment perhaps a mac is more your thing.

If vista was any good why are they developing windows 7 cause its like windows 95 and 98 windows 95 was revolutionary but it had loads of bugs not ironed out. Windows 98 was windows 95 with the bugs fixed. Goes to show that windows 2000 went to xp and from xp to a new operating system structure vista now vista is buggy so they are sorting the bugs and going to windows 7
windows 7 is actually vista bug fix which microsoft want to charge us for.
