Well I, like you Pablo, have found Vista to be a very good O/S with more useful features than Windows XP.
There is a remarkable amount of negative reporting on Vista, even from some people who normally are major Microsoft supporters. They talk like as if Microsoft is going to pull Vista from sale at any time.
I have run a lot of O/Ss. I have run Vista for about a year. There is nothing wrong with Vista. Within a relatively short period of time after I started to use Vista almost all of my software and hardware would work with it.
And Vista will be the immediate future. In a few short years most personal computers will be running some version of Vista. Microsoft is already developing another O/S and when it comes out it will gradually start to build up market share. And you can bet that new O/S will have many features from Vista.
Some people claim that there are some issues with Apple's new Leopard O/S. But you will have a hard time finding any discussion about that on the internet.
Some people have some complaints about Linux as a personal computer O/S. Good luck finding any information in that area on the internet. If anybody did try to discuss stuff like that they would be attacked.
Only attacks on Microsoft are allowed.
I will download the SP1 when it comes out for Vista. There is supposed to be more driver support, even better security, and Vista with SP1 is supposed to run faster.
I doubt very much that Microsoft is going to withdraw Vista from sale. All of these critics will be left behind in the dust when Vista becomes one of the most common or the most common O/S. The critics seem to think that Microsoft is going to go back to an improved version of Windows XP. The critics hate the UAC and apparently have never used a Mac which will ask for an administrative password also when you download new software. Well, the critics can enjoy the exhaust.
