10 reasons why not to buy vista!

1. You don't actually need it -- No, think about this. Vista doesn't do anything you can't already do with XP. 2. Cost $$ -- It's so blindingly obvious,most people will be blinded to it. 3. On that note, it's outrageously overpriced --at least in Australia. 4. Upgrading hardware --XP was demanding at release, but Vista more so.. 5. Driver support -- Key hardware like video and sound is crippled at the moment. 6. Applications that don't work --there's been plenty of coverage about applications that won't work without a vendor update. includes antiviruses,cd/dvd burners. 7. It's a big fat target -- with a new and untested in the global wild architecture, virus and malware authors are going to work overtime exploiting the holes Microsoft missed. Infact it's already happening. 8. UAC -- Oh yes, the Microsoft solution for an operating system where mutli-user was an afterthought. 9. DRM -- And to a lesser degree TPM -- were made for the RIAAs and MPAAs of this world, and the even tighter integration of copy protection mechanisms and 'Windows Rights Management' into vista are nothing more than a liability to you, the user. 10. The draconian license -- somehow, Microsoft has forgotten that it built its business from products that empowered its customers, not hampered them. so vista=FAILURE
