The era of paid software is over, and open source is becoming more and more comparible to the paid offerings.  Examples like Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice are the ones that spring to mind. Operating systems like Windows still hold a slight advantage, but after the Vista fiasco and with the open source offerings becoming more and more user friendly it is only a matter of time before Microsoft will need to seriously re-address their business model.

Almost nothing in osx is original anyway, think about it! The os is built of free bsd unix (not apple), the web browser is made from the konquerer browser (linux browser), the dock type app has been around on linux prior to osx and windows from 2000 had something very similar(drag a file to the side of the screen and see what happens, its in xp too).  Btw the original apple gui was taken on licence from xerox anyway.  I have vista ultimate running on my laptop and it runs very well, smooth infact and thats even true when i have the aero interface on. All the speed tests i have seen where the test computer has a quad core processor and 4 gb of ram Vista actualy beats xp on most things.  Plus the increased security (alot of security firms think it is more secure than osx, and please dont make the mistake that few virsus mean good security.)  If you want an os like xp how about Vista basic or Vista buisness, there not media centre os's like home premium or ultimate.  Btw like some have mentioned you can switch back to windows classic mode.

The feature that Vista "tried" to copy from OS X is the sidebar which makes it look like a bootlegged OS X dock. How could technology grow with a pointless OS?. Here we have computer manufacturing companies distributing desktops/laptops with more ram and faster processors but with a incompetent OS that even its well own "futuristic" interface takes up more resources than its last OS did. It's just nonsense on that OS. Grow with what future? – a M$ future?, that’s more of a fiasco than a future.

Think about it, in the same way that i've disabled the totally unnecessary Aero and many of the bloat processes that come with vista, Common sense would assume that with the supposed slimmer more effecient kernel and new modular nature of windows 7 the whole touch screen thing would be an optional feature. More than likely being only included in Windows 7 "Ultimate" or something of that nature. There's nothing wrong with an operating system having a powerful media center. I just fear that that computing experience of individuals who use that net for more than music and porn is being shaped by the majority who think of a pc as an "oogle" box.

A more improved XP? Some could argue that Vista is a more improved XP. I'm looking forward to Windows 7 and it's not because of the touch screen, it's because of the streamlined kernel and the slick looking virtual machines included. As an IT Professional the virtual machine aspect included in Windows 7 is great for backwards compatibility. For example, if the accounting department needs to access a file running off accpac from 10 years ago they can view/use it in a virtual machine from Windows 7. Someone mentioned on here that they will switch to linux because OS X and Vista is no good.... have you used Ubuntu? it's quite similar to OS X but with more tweaking needed and an understanding of the Linux commands / syntax if you want to get the most out of it. Someone else also stated that Vista shamefully copied OS X features... have you used OS X? what features? technology grows and operating systems go with the technology. One day (love it or hate it) tv, video, music and other features will probably all run off the same "media center" in your house with other computers in different areas of the house acting more like dumb terminals connected to the media center computer. Don't be scared of the future! Looks like some people posting here are scared of the future.

M$ really went the other way around releasing that tragedy of a OS known as "Vista". Just like Nathan said, they could have just made a better XP.

That or I'll move to Linux. Microsoft and Apple are both making one huge mistake. They forget practicality. They throw in features that either cause bugs, or won't be used, or are just annoying. Then they don't even give you the enhancements you really need. Everything I need is in XP, and I still stand by it as what M$ should have built off of. Vista was a move in the complete wrong direction. This is a computer, a machine for doing multitudes of tasks. It's not a multimedia center. I don't want Mac OS and I don't want Vista 2.0. I want a better, more solid, much faster XP. Is that so much to ask? If this is a taste of what is to come I’m sticking with XP for another 5 years. That or I’ll move to Linux.
