But this time Microsoft is going to fail. And here are 10 good reasons why.
- This isn’t the 90’s. Moderate product does not cut it anymore. Vista maybe nice but really nothing to look forward for, no giant step.
- Win 3.1 was a leader, Win 95 eliminated DOS, Win 98 was about browser war, Win ME was for Y2K, Win XP just eliminated years of software bugs that Microsoft promised for a long time. What can you say about Vista.
- XP works pretty well, too well sometimes. A stable system, worthy of praise.
- With Vista, you can only reinstall once. So when your system corrupts in six months, good luck.
- You need a supper computer to run vista. Oh well, thats how you going to feel with your pocket book.
- The anti-piracy features for DVD and digital media locks you out of your own box/dvds.
- The $5-10 billion dollar MSN Live search engine is broken. That fact itself tells you what you need to know about Microsoft.
- There will be another Windows in 2-3 years, its not worth upgrading now, you have waited so long.
- Black Friday, Christmas, New Year, tax season gone. Now you release Vista. Is there any worse time?
- What extra feature from XP are you going to really enjoy for that amount of money? Is some fancy menus, worth forking so much money?
For the record: I haven’t used Vista yet, and probably won’t buy one. I will however get free legal copy to play with. I will keep XP for a long time.
