Windows Vista - Your comments on Microsoft’s new OS
Was the wait worth it? Are Mac users interested in this OS? Is Vista that much better than past MS OS’s? Your comments are welcomed.

Microsoft copied Mac all the way and just called it different names like gadgets and widgets… I mean, common Microsoft, get original here!

I thought Vista is a vast improvement from XP. It looks awesome and works pretty good. I had no problems upgrading from XP and feel it will help Microsoft attract more of the creative crowd. I agree that they copied Apple on some items, but doesn’t Apple copy Microsoft with their stuff in OS X and even finally came out with a right click mouse? Its a give and take industry to give people what they want.

I say Vista is going to go through many security issues and growing pains. What a great time to swtich to a Mac!

“Eventually” is the operative word in my mind. There is a cost ot upgrade - not just the upgrade price, but the lost productivity as the switch is made and as folks get used to the new interface. As PCs/laptops need replacing, obviously you will buy them with Vista. But I wouldn’t convert any of my existing machines today. MicroSoft has yet to show me a compelling business reason to make the switch right now.

I agree with Lisa (which was the first Mac by the way, real name or an alias?). Vista is a lot like Mac OS X. I think if Microsoft wants to create something good, be original. Look at this site http://lifehacker.com/software/top/windows-vista-beta-a-lot-like-mac-os-x-179909.php

Although I’m a Mac user (MacBookPro with Intel) I have to say Vista does look pretty nice. I agree some things were copied from Mac, but its still not too bad. I use Parallels with XP and am now looking forward to upgrading to Vista.
