I'm not the only one

Windows Vista is right around the corner and I must have read three dozen articles over the past few months about Vista and its lack of power (don't even try running it on a computer older than a year and with less than 2 GB of RAM) and clunky interface (many functions have changed names, locations or both).

I've been using Vista since September and cannot find any feature that excites me enough to want to recommend or use it. Here are the latest articles I read at a site called TechGage:

Top 8 Windows Vista Annoyances [1]
Vista System Performance Tests [2] (note that they used a pretty powerful machine to run the testes)
ZDNet review [3] "Windows Vista is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade."

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano! [4]
