When writing articles like this, please don't start with a bias.

You start out saying you're going against the grain when you don't upgrade to vista? Actually it seems to be the other way around. I've heard many people who have NEVER used Vista complaining about it saying they'll never use it.

Think back to Windows 2000, when XP came out couldn't you have said the same thing? It was basically 2000 with a new GUI and a few things changed here and there. Everyone LOVES XP now. It's just the internet wasn't at quite the same stage for everyone to complain ;)

I don't take the article seriously as I could because it's obvious you have a complete bias against Vista, everything good about it you dismiss rather rapidly.

You talk about Vista not being better than XP on some aspects because of some THIRD party software? That is truely not a comparison of operating systems, I'm sure these applications can be ported and there are probably versions of them for Vista also.

I personally think it is more productive once you get used to the initial shock of changing. I like the breadcrumb system, it makes a lot more sense and is much easier than pressing UP, UP, UP..instead it's just clicking one or two times. Also you can still use Backspace to go up a level in vista.

Moving files/renaming them is also a lot quicker in Vista and it seems to do intelligent things more often (eg when you click or press F2 to rename a file it selects it without the extention if you have extensions turned on).

Also the windows desktop search on XP is really horrid compared to on Vista, it works much better on Vista. Searching is an absolute breeze.

I think this article does have some points of merit, it sounds like something I would've written when I very first installed Vista and one of my hardware drivers was preventing Vista to load though! Much too much bias.
