The reason is that Vista is what Microsoft preferred to make available, what they wanted and not what the customers want. In many instances change for change's sake rather than a real improvement. Why do we need to invest in a new device and environment to allow us merely to carry on doing what we have always done?

We've all been round the loop several times now, a new product promising the earth, several years of bugs and learning its quirks, only to have to reinvest in that learning and associated hardware at each iteration. Not only that but faced with ever detached and dismissive support options.

At the end of the day the only real thing that changes is the look and feel of the product and where is the benefit of that? Even if something is not the most ergonomic or elegant once millions of people get used to it then we are back at the VHS v Betamax parallel.

And my 3 year old 1GHZ laptop with 1GB of RAM is far more than ample for what I do.
