The switch from xp to vista is starting to sound like the same old win98 to xp nightmare, just worse. I'm sorry, but I don't care how pretty my os looks. Why does M$ have to come out with some flashy, bubbly RAM-glutton that will inevitably suck balls? I remember when I found out that xp took 128 MB of RAM just to run half-decently. I was absolutely shocked. And if that isn't bad enough, vista is going to want more. I swear I'm going to make the complete switch to *nix someday, to hell with online gaming.
So you want to keep on using the same old OS till the end of days? It's been 5 years of XP now, and although it was a new and good OS when it came out, it's starting to show it's age now.
Vista is going to be a completely new OS, the visual updates are just the topping on the cake that has a completely new receipe.
Technology evolves, especially in the computer business. You expect applications and games to be better, faster, nicer and more powerful in general, but you don't want to switch to a new OS? You cant build a skyscraper on the fundaments of a small country cottage. If you can't handle a change, dust off your commodore64 and have fun...
