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."

    As soon as Duke Nukem comes out, you can be sure it will have a 'Made for Microsoft Windows Vista' sticker on it.

    Are you serious? When DNF comes out Microsoft will have dropped support for legacy OS's like Vista!

    > Why would you pay for your own shackles?

    Because my wife complained that the garbage bag zip ties were irritating her wrists.

    Dick Cheney is probably going to shoot you if you keep using that "throws chair" joke.

    I mean, that old guy doesn't even read Slashdot and he's heard it a million times
