Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lesser-of-evils dept.

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."

    Get a console to play games!

    Which non-Blizzard real-time sim is well-supported on Mac OS X? Or do you claim that all non-Blizzard RTS games are poorly engineered? Which console supports independent gaming?

    I'm unaware of any peripheral I need/want that is incompatible with OSX.

    For one thing, the peripherals that switchers may already own. For another, the peripherals that people receive as gifts, either to individuals from family members or to non-profit organizations from charitable donors.

    I can't think of any major IE-only sites at the moment; I'll let others respond.
