I won't address this much right now, but I'll put in a word or 2. I know this is not a technical review, but these are my views with what I see MS trying TO DO with Vista.
The way I see Vista, I just can't support it. Microsoft is going the extra step with this one, and they are pushing their proprietary ideas to the forefront. If any of you saw the MS conference @ E3, you know what I mean. They are trying to lock things down, so that MS products do everything. What I see in Vista is MS trying to be everything to everyone, and I just can't see them succedding in that. They are making the OS so huge to do all this stuff... And that's not what I want. I'm looking for an OS to be less, and allow OTHER programs to do more. It's kinda like my political views: Less government/laws, the better off we are. Same with OS's, the less is more. The DRM thing is gonna be insane BTW. MS is siding with MPAA and the RIAA, and if they have their way, we will have to buy every song and movie, once for each of our protable players, once for each of our computers, and once for the disc players in the house. By including HDCP (etc.) in the internals of the OS, Microsoft gives these corporations the power to choose when, where, and how we listen and watch WHAT WE ALREADY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. You might think I'm nuts for saying this stuff, but I want a 'free' computer, one that I control, not MS or anyone else. Needless to say, I'm thinking more Mac or Linux these days as the Vista beast is slowly rolling in.

The big question is why do you want Vista? There is no compelling reason to purchase it. Yes, it is the newest OS, but that doesn't mean it is the best. It sounds like you have functionality that you need in XP. Stick with it for a while.
If it ain't broke don't try and fix it. Most amazing jew boots ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)
