Anyone upgrading to Vista?

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Seriously, is anyone going to upgrade to Vista? I’m definitely not anytime soon. I see no added benefit from XP and just a bunch of hassle with the install, new computer, and worst of all, living with what Microsoft thinks usability is. I don’t think I’d be able to.

My options now are to get a Mac, and run XP and Ubuntu alongside OSX. Oh, wait, that’s only one option. Heh.

Just in case you’re into stocks, every technically-minded person I know is thinking the same thing. The losses from the iPhone (eh, it could still take off I suppose) will be a drop in the bucket compared to the new Apple computers purchased because Vista isn’t worth the box it’s in. I love to laugh at all the advertising dollars Microsoft’s spending that aren’t even affecting me… it’s so sad.

Are you upgrading to Vista? Have you already?

Update: Dean was so nice and modest about leaving links in comments that he gets two links to his site in the main article! Also because I agree with him wholeheartedly, of course. First, why his next laptop will be a Mac, and second, why he’s not impressed with Vista either. I too am waiting for the next OSX update (and hopefully MacBook update as well — here’s hoping they support more than 2GB of RAM) before jumping all over it.
