Ten reasons to buy Vista and why to hold off
1 Comment Published February 17th, 2006 in Microsoft, PC, Software, Technology, Virus & SpywareThis is a very comprehensive and detailed article which informs you of 10 reasons why you should consider switching to Vista and some other annoyances that may make you want to put down your credit card and think again. These are the areas covered:
- Why to Buy
- Security
- IE
- Eye Candy (Aero Glass, etc)
- Desktop Search
- Better updates
- More media
- Parental Controls
- Better backups
- Peer-to-peer collaboration
- Quick setup and better code alert
- Nuisances
- Price
- Vista is a power hog
- New features require a learning curve
- Some ‘new’ programs are just rebadged versions of old programs
I think Windows has become so bloated and slow, plus with all the virus and spyware around (that is not MS’ fault) I’d rather stick to OS X. My dad said that he will not purchase Vista for any of our Windows computer, partly because of the price and the specifications it requires to actually run on a computer (Google for it, you will be blown away!)
