What's new? M$ always some excuse for their OS. Why should Vista be any different?

    Microsloth relies on users upgrading their OS and software. Is Vista really worth an upgrade from XP? Will Office 2007 be any better than Office 2003? I think not.

    Here is a video of what is new in Vista (but old in OSX)...

      yes, lets criticise them for trying to make their product better...and let s just think abuot how much code aloe goes into an OS...and then the GUI needs to be synched...it takes a lot of time just to draw it out, then to put it all together. yes, MS has been a little slow, but saying "oh they always have an excuse for their OS" is unfair. is Apple delayed their new, fictional OS, i doubt you would say that. to you they would be "Making it better, because Apple CARES!" And wil MSOffice 2k7 be better then 2k3? probably not to the normal user. But then again, new versions of ANY software usually are not "better" than the old one. they just LOOK nicer and guess what..PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT!
