Seems everyone who tries Windows Vista comes to at least one of two conclusions (if not both):

Please don’t let Windows XP Expire - There’s even a petition for those in this camp. And it’s getting press.
Mac Time - Enough said. Mac OS X 10.5 isn’t perfect, but is anything? It’s about as [...]

CNet’s review pretty much sums up my feelings on Vista after playing around with it for a little while:

The bottom line: Windows Vista is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you’re currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right [...]

I have iWoz autographed by Steve Wozniak. Do I need to get a signed copy of Vista Ultimate?

It warns me about everything. Warnings stink, people just ignore them [...]

If Microsoft were smart, they would have released the tool for Windows 2000/XP to test for Windows System Performance Ratings in Windows Vista. That way users could test and start upgrading if necessary, so when launch time comes around, their customer base is more ready to accept the new product.
Then again, if they are [...]

Niels Ferguson of the Security Integrety Team had this to say about the idea of a backdoor being implemented in Windows Vista’s new Bitlocker security system:

Over my dead body.
Well, maybe not literally—I’m not ready to be a martyr quite yet—but certainly not in any product I work on. And I’m not alone in that sentiment. [...]

According to this article about Windows Vista Requirements:

Other requirements included a SATA or 7200 rpm EIDE hard drive. For Vista on notebooks, Microsoft recommended the Acer Ferrari 3400, the Acer Ferrari 4000, the HP Pavillion zd8230, the IBM Thinkpad T43 and the Toshiba Tecra M4.

Sweet! If IBM/Lenovo will adjust their BIOS so there’s [...]
