Microsoft lists Vista high points
Found on The Inquirer on Thursday, 01 February 2007
Vista is shiny and its maker can't even come up with a decent list as to why you should care. May I suggest you take your $400 and pick a new hobby using this as seed money? You won't get a DRM infection, you won't sell your soul to licensing agreements, and you will have a computer that is actually more functional. What more do you want?
Those "7.5" arguments are the reasons why people should buy Vista? IE7: I've seen two Vista upgrades where IE didn't work, so Firefox was installed instead. Windows Sidebar: I already hated the Channels in Windows 98. Windows Aero: nothing fancy. Linux delivers transparent windows and such if you need that. Mahjong Titans: like Solitaire and Minesweeper wasn't sad enough already. Start menu search: keep your stuff organized and you won't have to search. Stay, Start menu: again, keep it organized. Control Panel Search: uhm, hello? It's totally messed up now. Windows Photo Gallery: never used that one (or Picasa for that matter). I've got other software to keep pictures organized and it's way more powerful than those two. You have to follow the links on the Inquirer's site to MS, because I didn't want to link to them.
