Bing Bing!! Give the man a cookie!!

You made that last post as if thats the first time any of those things struck you. Yes, Vista will be more complex, it will look nicer (by most peoples standards), it will be more secure, it will need more modern hardware on the average, it will vreate more heat on the average, and it will have a number of new features. None of those issues should come as a surprize to anyone.

The real question is "whats it cost?" If its more then XP, it appears most people will not be purchasing for several years if all they are looking for is a possible upgrade from XP.

Microsoft will pretty much have to wait until people purchase a new computer that comes with Vista, or wait it out until customers feel they cannot get by without the new OS, and given that there are still some who use Win 98 even today, and even more who rely on Windows 2000, they may have quite a wait.
