I found this interesting post about Vista, called Vista - Arrogance & Stupidity.
Andrew Grygus writes an interesting view into why there’s so little people upgrading to Vista. So far, I haven’t seen anybody I know that has updated to Vista yet, not in corporations nor at homes. Yes, there are a couple of clients whose IT departments are messing around with Vista in their test setups, but nobody has updated to it for production systems, not even in a limited capacity.
Most of what I hear in the corporate side goes from gripes about stability (not as stable as XP under some uses), difficult UI (not the cute graphics, but the way the system interacts with people) and annoying popups all the time.
At home…it’s pretty simple “XP is good enough, Vista costs too much for what it can do for me”.
Anyway, read the article, it’s pretty interesting, giving a good insight into why we aren’t seeing Vista all around us, except on those demo PCs at the stores.

I have it here, well, somewhere around here… it came as a free upgrade with my laptop (which I made sure to buy BEFORE they were coming with Vista!!!) and have had it for a while now and have no urge to install it. I don’t feel like it added anything that I need. They never sold me on the need to upgrade.
Maybe their next OS will be a must have. :)
I just finished installing Vista under vmware and…I’m underwhelmed, again.
It needs way too many reboots for a decent OS (you need to reboot when you change the workgroup?? come on! If it were a change of domain, I could understand it, but…to change workgroups? bah!)…I don’t know if it’s worth using yet, it’s been on my vmware for less than 20 minutes…but so far, I’m underwhelmed.
