Seems that the main focus of this article is corporate adoption, which is historically slow for any new OS, Windows included. Chock this article up to a big yawn from me.

Maybe so, but I am not happy with Vista, and I don’t intend to buy a Vista machine anytime soon (really, how many non-corporate users upgrade an OS on their existing machines).

Vista is too hardware intensive for me. I don’t want a “pretty” desktop. On my work and home PCs I’ve turned off most of the Windows visual enhancements, because I don’t care about them, and I’d rather be able to keep a browser window, a Word document, and 4 spreadsheets open than have animated window opennings.

At home, I used to like to play games on my computer, but I gave up due to my unwillingness to upgrade my hardware frequently enough. Looking at a Vista PC, I don’t want to have to have a graphics card just to run the OS, which is where this is heading. Give me an updated, but not upgraded Windows 2000.
