Vista needs improvement

I agree with your article, as I don't find anything absolutely compelling in Vista. I'm running Vista on my year old Sony Vaio laptop, only because Sony has not written XP drivers for it... So, I cannot downgrade to a fresh install of XP (I've tried).

It's not that Vista is really bad, b/c its actually OK. The issue is: it's just not compelling; at least that's how I feel.

I really hope MS get's their Consumer Operating System act together on their next OS and ships a: smaller, faster, more reliable, and more usable OS. Then, I'll be excited to upgrade. Until then, I'll stick with XP on my desktop, and unexcitedly use Vista on Laptop.

I'm looking forward to a couple years from now when MS ships Windows 7. But if it turns out to just be Windows ME 3.0.... then I'm becoming more enamored with Apple OS-X.
