Obviously you don't read...
Vista taxes all but the most modern PCs with hefty processing and memory requirements. Many of GM's PCs can't even run the system. "By the time we'd replace them, Windows 7 might be ready anyway," Killeen says. Then there are compatibility problems with all the software that needs to run on Windows.

*** THEN THERE ARE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS ***

I emphasised that because if you missed it the first time you read through the article, you'd probably miss it here too..

And I would suppose next your arguements will be "oh well mustn't be anything since they didn't go into detail about the 'compatibility problems' they had" ...

You people need to get a better grip on reality. The numbers touted for "Vista" include upgrade/software assurance from microsoft. It doesn't mean that the OS **is** being used, it means it *can be* by corporations that have software assurance.

The only place Vista has numbers is in the systems sold to the avg joe ... and in those cases, the avg joe doesn't get to pick the OS they have installed.. no.. the AVG Joe has to purchase based on purse. 499 for a laptop with vista or 799 for a laptop preinstalled with XP?

Microsoft's Vista is just not worth the upgrade. XP runs perfectly fine on every machine I have or have access to.
