Windows Vista = Suckage?

Matt Hartley at OS Weekly has an editorial posted about Windows Vista and some of the competition it will find in the market place, namely Windows XP. I think Matt has hit the nail on the head. I have yet to see any compelling reasons to leave Windows XP. While Windows XP suffers many slings and arrows from the elitist press, there is no doubting that it is Microsoft’s best operating system to date.

I believe Microsoft is just now coming to grips with the fact that their biggest competitor is their own Windows XP. Those people who are using Windows XP right now have no real motivating reason to upgrade; short of being able to play with "Gadgets" and other frivolous crap. If they wanted this sort of thing, they more than likely would have gone with OS X on the Mac.

Windows Vista looks to be a whole lot of fluff to me with little substance. Chris Morley is working on a Vista article of our own and seeing just how “Vista Ready” some of our recently evaluated PCs are. On that note, Chris has not had a bad thing to say about his trials with Vista, but then again, nobody asked him to pony up $250 of his hard earned dollars to pay for it either.

In the same vein, Redhat's CEO still think they have a fighting chance to be the standard in the USA. Then again, what is he supposed to say?
