I can understand people who hate Windows altogether. But I have one problem with people who hate Windows Vista and professes that we should stick with Windows XP.
Windows XP inherently is weak insecurity. If you let your guard down, bot nets gets hold of your computer. You may never realize that your computer is part of a bot net.
So, my question is, who are the people who really want XP to stay alive? My answer is that the people who manage bot nets.
Solution, if you don’t like Vista and you are not that careful about web sites you visit, what you install and so on, get a Linux or Mac. Don’t stick with XP and fall prey to bot nets.

What does this picture tell you? Consider the fact more than 90% of the world’s computers run Microsoft OS.
It tells me that
- Most of the jobless people use Mac and they scout the net for these polls.
- People are outright lying.
- People are trying to be politically correct or want to be part of the most vocal groups.
- People want to send a message to Microsoft while continuing to use an MS OS.
What you think?

Apple is too closed at this moment. They do have the capability to run on x86 architecture and they choose to keep it close. I would choose Linux over apple because Linux is completely open and is available for my own x86 machine I built from ground up. It can also run on any x86 computer that I can buy except probably the ones from Apple.
Pretty soon we will start seeing Vista like features and UI in all Linux distros. If you do not want to spend money on Vista, you probably can get the closest experience from those Linux distros.
Apple upgrades the OS almost once a year and the upgrade prices are around $100. I don’t think I want to spend that much money every year. Microsoft calls such upgrades as service packs and they are free. In the Linux world everything is free anyway.
