Hi,
I too am not so very happy with the choices Microsoft has made for Windows Vista, BUT
1. They have no other choice
A lot of great features where forseen to be in Longhorn (Vista), then they see
that their developers can't make it in time, so they cancel a few because they
have to make a certain deadline. Apple will have their next release of OSX ready
by the time MS has Vista ready for press. They cannot afford to be any later than
they already are.
It's business.
2. They know the public (99% of the world) doesn't care that WinFS (or anything else) is in Vista
Microsoft just wants the public to have a user experience that pleases the customer. Most of the people that own a computer, don't know about WinFS or any other features that sound so cool in our geeky ears and for what I have found: they honestly don't care. Who does really care that a search returns result 1 second faster than their neighbour. Answer: I do, but most of them don't.
3. The people that care so much, should use MacOS or anything else If you are so unpleased with Microsoft's way of doing business, don't use it. Oh, sorry, you NEED it. True, that's the only thing MS cares about, that you NEED their OS instead of something else. I'm writing this on a Mac, but where I work I have a Windows PC and I'm glad I can do stuff there that I cannot do on a mac, maybe a game or something else and when I go home at night, I'm glad to be working on a mac for the same reason. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages that we have to live with. Christ, if it wasn't for Spyware, I'd probably be out of a job by now ;)
We'll all use Vista in time, as will everybody. And by the time it's ready, we'll
all be glad it's there.
K.C.

Wow....we've waited years all these years for a new OS only to get a new desktop theme? Can't wait! What's actually still going to be in Longhorn/Vista that warrants a new OS? I know they will be backporting some of the key items right into XP and some of the big improvements they've been promising have just been thrown on the back-burner, so what reasons are there for people to actually want to upgrade?
