Can you give one GOOD reason to upgrade to Vista and one GOOD and USEFUL
thing that Vista can do that XP can't besides make you dig very deep
into your pockets to assure that Bill Gates remains the richest man in
the world with the hardware and software vendors close behind?

People upgrade because they want to, if you don't want to, don't. No real
reason to if your current OS does the job you need it to do.

That doesn't answer the question.

It could depend on what you use your machine for. If you play games, games in
the future that require DirectX 10 will only be playable on Vista. DirectX 10
will never be available to XP.

Fair enough. Any reason you can give to upgrade now?

Alias

1) To learn Vista so you can continue to provide computer consulting and
service since virtually all new computers will be sold with Vista.

2) Better security

Fair enough. Repair techs should get it now. I am not a repair tech and
my business, other than using computers, has nothing to do with
"computer consulting and service".

LOL! *That's* funny. The only real security in computing resides between
your ears, not some program or OS. It's called "safe hex", with the
exception, of course, of running a Linux live CD without installing it.

Yeah, lots of them. But since this has been hashed through about 865,453,326
times already and most people still don't get it, I think I'll pass.

You are not playing by your own rules. You state the question implying that
you want reasons, in a general sense, applying to anyone, yet you debunk the
replies with reference to yourself and your needs. Two different things.
You also specifically told one respondent that recommended that YOU don't
upgrade that he didn't answer the questions, again implying that you asked
the questions in a general sense, not applying to you specifically.

I call Troll.

100 solid reasons to upgrade to Windows Vista
[url]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/100reasons.mspx[/url]

Give me one good reason to upgrade from DOS 6.22 & Win 3.11. I only use it
for playing Doom 1 on my 486DX/100 with 32MB RAM.

Give me one good reason to upgrade from WinXP. I want to play Crysis in all
it's DX10 glory. Ok... Gotta have Vista! :)

A quick scan of the OPs previous posts will confirm this.

uhm... them why didn't you?

Yes, Alias is a major Vista hater in these groups. Sadly, he doesn't have
many SOLID reasons not to like it. If he gave some reasons (and not just
easy little things that are easily fixed, or caused by things other than the
OS), then I'd respect his opinion. Otherwise, he's just a troll.
