Windows Vista killer features
Windows Vista has those three killer features? Wow!!! I bet it can also start up and shutdown. Amazing!!! These are things we can do without, NO!!!!
Honestly, these are lame reasons to switch to Vista, probably taken from a Microsoft Vista overview or something like that. And this is clearly not quality journalism, to say the least.
