Not everyone likes to be forced to buy the new thing when the old one was just starting to work perfectly. And before you say we're not forced to, consumer choice blah blah, yes we kind of are. With a limited budget comes a limited set of options.

Note that I never said Vista can't be inconvenient or even troublesome, that said though people do complain about stupid things. Once they're used to doing something one way they don't like doing it another. You add just
one extra step to make something happen and people will complain till the cows come home. If you looked at my last post you'd see that I acknowledged the genuine complaints, I even had some of my own in the first post. I spend a lot of time on the internet, more than I should in fact, and whenever someone mentions Vista the first thing that comes out is 1) the exaggerators & 2) the mac fanatics, just visit Digg or Reddit and you'll see what I mean. I'm simply providing the tit for the tat.
I'm not sure how your limited budget argument works. If you have a limited budget then you have Linux, school discounts, or you can download Windows for free (or you can try any number of other free OS's out there, but good luck
). When you buy a new computer it's only logical that it would come with the newest OS. If you have an old computer then nobody is forcing you to upgrade to Vista. Nobody forced people to upgrade to Leapord, nobody forced people to upgrade to Hardy Heron, and MS didn't force me, you, nor the old lady next door to upgrade to Vista. There are people still running Windows 2000 out there. When new technology is introduced the old is phased out.
Anyways, I don't think we'll get much more out of this debate. If you're having problems with Vista then stick with XP or switch to whatever does float your boat. If you're not having problems with Vista and choose to stick with it then may god haver mercy on your soul.
