With all the maintenance issues with XP, and what I hear about Vista, I bought a Mac. And I am pleasantly surprised with it. After 14 years with MS, now I find what I've been missing.

MS was lucky to have items other than Vista to shore up their revenue. MS did miss Christmas '06 with Vista, but it was definitely available for Christmas '07. If MS doesn't think the currently skyroceting interest in the Mac, Linux and user desire to keep XP supported and available beyond June '08 is not caused by the low ratings Vista has received, I would think they've had their head in the sand for the last 16 months.

My own experience with Vista has shown a couple of improviements over XP (Aero graphics and networking enhancements), however MS has removed a bunch of user customization options that were available in XP.

With these customization shortcomings and all the drivers for legacy devices that have never been released for Vista it's no wonder that Vista's revenue stream hasn't materialized as MS had hoped.

There are many many users who were very upset when they got their new computers home with Vista Home Premium on it and found that it didn't have any "FAX" program included on it.
Word spreads like wildfire, so this may be another reason it's not that popular. Everyone uses faxes these days!
