I am postponing upgrading to Vista for as long as I can. I am still not convinced that the OS is ready for me to take it seriously. Why? Every version of Windows I have used since 3.1 has required tons of patches. There is no guarantee everything I want to run will work. My Tech Republic/ZDNet/Newslinx all drip with constant bad news. My Windows XP is up-to-date, patched, scanned defragged, and backed up to an image file. I have no issues with it, believe it or not. My dual-booted Linux works fine and has at least five or six desktop alternatives, it’s patched, got games, web development software, and
it runs great. So why should I bother to sink my hard-earned money into Vista when there is little reason to trust Microsoft knowing their reputation? When will
you upgrade?
