When you alt-tab you can make it so the windows like fly around in 3D and stuff as you flip between them. If Neo saw that shit he would be all like, "no way!"

It's the worst feature in vista and the fact it doesn't come in vista basic is so damned funny I think steve jobes started to cry of laughter. I like vistas search in the main menu no more clicking you'd be surprised how much this feature is better and I like the games browser as well.

Stranger Dan:
Inkball?

Jarwy:
There are reasons?

I suppose if you want...

- to cut your general performance
- to try out those new cool Beta drivers for "just about everything"
- to be able to crash more often
- to pay a small fortune
- to drink more coffee! (hey, maintenance and puzzling takes its time and Vista offers twice the fun)

... this list can be extended forever and ever. New bugs are created everyday!

If you still keep your copy of XP, I think you might as well install Vista to have a play with and decide for yourself. I had it running on my desktop for quite a while, and the only thing I found advantageous to XP is that DirectX is now nicely multithreaded. Aero got old quickly, and the search functionality doesn't compare to Spotlight on the Mac (which I am now a total slave to).

Hmm... You also appear to be able to resize partitions in the disk manager, which I think is new. Oh yeah, it also has packet writing UDF for DVDs which is neat if you have a stack of DVDRWs and are indecisive. And the "restore versions" stuff is neat but I didn't use it once. Compatibility sucked for a while and is getting better, but it feels just like the early days of XP when everyone was still "no way man, XP is just 2000 with more bloat".

Same deal now. I reckon once it's been force-fed through OEMs and Microsoft coerces more ISVs to play the "Only on Vista" game there will be more reasons to upgrade.

But hey, if it's free, I'd take it and keep running XP until I find a truly convincing reason to upgrade (although I'm thinking that might not happen until XP gets EOL'd).

Heh, I'm totally pwning the acronyms today.
