Reasons to stick with Windows Vista and avoid Ubuntu
As you may recall, outgoing PC Magazine editor Jim Louderback had almost nothing good to say about Vista in his most recent column. Just about everyone I know that has used Vista is going to stick with it and Information Week poses the reasons why that not so strangely, I agree with.
The main reason is Aero Glass, Aero Glass is pretty, windows fade in and out and there’s a glossy transparent look to it, who cares if you need a NASA supercomputer to run it? Gamers already have enough adequate hardware capabilities for it and we’re usually suckers for pretty shiny things that gives us improvements of any kind. Or you could accept Alexander Wolfe’s explanation of “With Aero, Vista has a professional user interface, and it just makes working on your PC a more pleasant experience.” Sure but it’s pretty, that’s reason enough for me.
It seems Vista also has some pretty good admin tools for recovering from unstable system configurations, problem tracking, hardware monitors and so on.
