[Infowarrior] - CNET Reviews MS Vista

[Richard Forno]

The good:  Windows Vista Ultimate does improve some features within Windows
XP; fewer system crashes than Windows XP; Windows Vista offers better
built-in support options.

The bad:  Windows Vista Ultimate does not put search on the desktop (it's
buried within applications, within the Start Menu); optimized only for the
Microsoft Windows ecosystem (for example, RSS feeds from Internet Explorer 7
get preferential treatment); there's simply too much and not all of it is
implemented properly; no new software yet written exclusively for Windows
Vista; and there are too many editions of Windows Vista.

Bottom Line: Windows Vista is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're
currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade.
On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is
stable enough
