Here is the problem with vista and microsoft in general.

1) Vista is too graphic heavy
2) vista is encrypted which is why people choose not to use macs as it is encrypted.
3) There are no major upgrades to vista from xp besides the graphics which is not needed it is just a way for them to make companies who want to make software for it pay for a license and get more money from you. If you look deeply into Windows 2000-Vista they are all exactly the same features except for how it looks, and up from windows 2000-xp some backend fixes which can easily be done by upgrades if you think about it.

They are becoming apple which people seem to hate, but its stupid they set out to be the Personal Computer not all up and crap like mac, dont get me wrong i love mac but vista is being just dumb.

Thats my 3 cents.
