Well.... (Score 2, Interesting)

To be perfectly honest.... i've read threads of all sorts where tons of people have said they won't switch to vista for various reasons. But I'm feeling a bit of deja vu, twice over infact. Tons of people declared that they'd never switch to XP. To go back further tons of people said they wouldn't switch to 98! ***Rant Begin*** The simple fact of the matter is: if widespread use of Vista warrents the end-user changing, either through enhanced or added functionality that just isn't availible in XP or the discontinuation of support, people will switch to Vista plain and simple. It might be one hard long fight, but eventually it will be the standard. The US military in most offices has finally made the switch to XP, and moreover (in some departments) to Server 2003. Heck, even some parts of the military are using Media Center Edition for different types of briefings and training because it works well with media. So for all of you that say this is just one more reason for you *not* to switch to Vista, come talk to me in 4 or 5 years and let's see what operating system you are using. Disclaimer: For you linux geeks out there, I think it's fair to say you don't have all that much of a say in the Vista switch. Granted a great deal of you may use XP as an alternative OS, but you have already made the great leap into the alt-beyond. You have survived and came back to tell about it. For those of us that are comfortable with a Windows environment (and would consider ourselves power-users in the realm) we are the ones that really get a final say as to what is unreasonable and what is not in the implementation of a new OS. ***Rant Over***
