Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista

pennconservative writes "Michael Desmond, writing for PCWorld.com, gives us ten reasons to buy the next version of Microsoft Windows. Some of his reasons sound compelling, and it definitely sounds like Microsoft has found yet another way to ensure market dominance for a few more years. Desmond also gives a few reasons not to buy Vista, but the most compelling of those is the hardware required to run it. Since Vista will likely ship on every new computer anyone buys, I don't see that being a major roadblock."

can they all run it though?

This assumes that every new computer will be decked out enough to be able to run it. Obviously they won't have to have a decent 3D card to run it with the fancy desktop bell & whistles.

Windows is still the compatible choice

[tepples]

what feature will I get that I don't already have in Mac OS X 10.4?

Compatibility with more games. Other than WoW, what popular MMORPG runs on Mac OS X?

Compatibility with more vertical-market apps such as the one used by your employer.

Compatibility with more peripherals sold at retail stores.

Compatibility with web sites that are made exclusively for Microsoft Internet Explorer technology and for which there are no close substitutes.

After paying for 3.1, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP I'm really starting to abandon cynicism and derision in favor of good old practical thriftiness. I just can't afford Windows anymore.

You're a moron if you actually paid for each and every one of those upgrades. I'm betting that you aren't a moron, so I just assum your BSing. :-)

Still, Mac fanboys pay for incremental upgrades every 18 months and are more than happy and haughty to do so.
