Remember when "Longhorn" was the buzz. The new OS was going to be amazing. I remember reading in many top notch magazines about the new file system in Longhorn and I got quite excited. Then, slowly, one by one, as the OS's release date crept closer, each of the cool new features were plucked from the OS. In the end Vista was, and is, nothing more than a glorified version of Windows XP.
I think that the reason that there is a new OS almost ready is because the new OS is actually what Vista was supposed to be.
I have however ended up switching full time to Vista now. I have XP installed as well but find no purpose to go into it anymore. It took me a while to tweak and customise Vista to get rid of all of those VERY annoying security measures. Now that Vista is less frustrating to use I have actually become more comfortable and efficient using it versus XP. I have also really come to like the visual Aero theme. Enough so that XP looks silly now. lol. Vista may not be amazing but I think it is better than XP in many ways. Too bad it's such a pain to use in it's default state.
