The family just ordered a dell, it comes with windows vista pre installed....Windows Vista upsets me very much. I would advise anyone who knows how to use a computer even a little bit not to get it....that is all.

the family's new pc has 1gb of memory in it. On startup, windows uses close to 700mb of it....that is absurd.
Also, all reports i've read say games perform horribly.
If you know how to use a PC you will find vista terrible as everything is different, perhaps to someone who has never seen a PC before it is easier to figure out..but not if you already have a clue.

"There appears to be no compelling technical or business case for upgrading to these new Microsoft software products," according to the memo. http://news.com.com/Federal+agencies+ban+Windows+Vista/2100-1002_3-6166868.html?tag=cnetfd.mt

Very sensible reasoning.
