Well the way I look at it is this.

Vista, is it better than Linux/Mac OS? No it's different and each OS does certain things really well.

Vista, is it better than XP? I'd say if you have a newer computer it's definitely something to look in to.

Would I recommend Vista? Yes I would, so far I've been very satisfied with it vs my experiences with XP.

Am I going to try to change your mind about Vista? No but I will try to educate the misinformed people.

100% agree.

Ok, i'll admit I was one of those people who talked bad about it after trying the beta for 4 hours but it has come a long way.

Especially with new updates being released all the time.

If businesses want to spend more for Apple workstations, let em. But they wont be makign any more money because of it.

put yourself in their shoes. if you dont have to upgrade, would you? i'm sure if they needed to, they would be fine with it, but honestly business have no use yet for vista. XP works for them just fine, for their networks and for their employees and budget. No reason to upgrade, no reason to spend money. Just my 2 cents anyway
