Based on what Jameskyton says, why didn’t Microsoft build Vienna to start with (Vista’s successor OSes), and why should I race to get DRM/EULA-crippled Vista in the meantime over finally making the much cheaper switch to Linux? I like my toolbars and context menus and the keyboard, and I don’t like talking to my computer (I can type 85+wpm accurately, no exaggeration); I don’t even like talking to the phone, why should I want to talk all day to my computer like a telemarketer?

Why is everyone always trying to take the things that work away from me, under the guise of novelty, i.e., the next new thing? All the awesomely cool things James lists about Fiji and Vienna are sheer vapor. Microsoft has been pulling the football from us on every release, and worse, Microsoft has lost trust with users throughout this decade. Vaporware promises won’t stop the growing lure and adoption of Open Source computing. Users around the world are not begging for more versions of Windows; they’re yearning for digital freedom and net neutrality. I’m from Missouri, the Show Me state. So stop with the vapor talk and show me something. Vista isn’t enough to move me from XP.

Thanks James, for helping me choose my future [Open Source] computing path early and resolutely!
