>>features that are taken from the Mac OS X and Linux playbook<<
Why is this a reason to abandon Vista, if the alternative is either Mac or Linux?
BS meter alert here.
Vista’s running just fine in our office environment. XP’s still the choice for older boxes, though.
I do IT work for a couple of companies that are Mac-oriented and believe me, the ‘invulnerable Mac’ myth is just that.
mac os and linux are both stable.
windows fled stability in the 1990’s,
resulting in a fix-or-repair-daily software,
which created millions of jobs for techies.
