Vista - To Go or Not To
If you are thinking of moving to Vista or not, here is a quick slideshow on the pros and cons of Vista from eWeek online magazine. Based on what is important to you, you can run to or run away from Vista. Another point that I think to run away from Vista is the pricing. My personal opinion on this is with more open source and minimal cost commercial Linux Desktops coming up every now and then spending so much money on OS is something I would think of. However eye-catchy the system maybe, ultimately all I need is whether the system helps me work on whatever I want to efficiently and if there is a system that comes for free or with minimal cost why should I go for the heavy price tagged one.

Ramesh, Good to see your comments on Vista pricing. This seems to be the major drawback of Vista outside the US. An increasing number of people are making a similar point and my blog has been set up to link them together.

The thing about Vista that I can’t understand is the pricing difference between the US and some other parts of the world where some people (like here in Portugal) are paying in some packs (Vista Ultimate Full) twice as much as the Americans.
It’s sure a good reason for many people to start to discover the world of free OS especially with easy to install distros like Ubuntu.
