Reasons to Intall Vista

(1/7) > >>

Unosuke:
So I got an HP laptop for Christmas, and they had that "free vista upgrade" thing going on. So, a while back, I sent off for it and it just came in the mail. My original plan was to wait until updates start rolling in. But I'm also curious about vista, so I don't know now. I know the reasons why NOT to use Vista, someone tell me some reasons to use it that aren't just "It has DirectX 10". I'm not the biggest pc gamer, so thats low on the totem pole.

Ignore mberan, he's totally wrong.
kubuntu 7.04 is where it's at.

I actually just the other day formatted my Vista partition and expanded my Linux partition.
There are genuinely no reasons that I can think of to have Vista, other than, possibly, to boast about having Vista to people who don't know how pointless it is. It just doesn't have any advantages over XP, except a prettier interface. And if I pretty interface is what you want, I've already mentioned kubuntu, which has a much more customisable GUI (kde if you don't know, which I prefer over ubuntu's GUI, gnome) than Vista, and since you're not bothered about gaming, there is no drawback to having it.

edit: I just realised I didn't really say any reasons that you should upgrade to Vista. That's because, and I can't stress this enough, there aren't any.

Hey, man... I'm trying out Linux for the first time ever. Give me a break!

Unosuke:
ubuntu you say, hrm. Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
