1. Vista is Incomplete
Microsoft is already planning its first service pack and seeking input from users on what to include. Vista probably won't be truly ready for prime time until that first service pack version, possibly later this year
2. Vista is Expensive
Microsoft offers three versions of Vista to home users in the United States: Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate. The cheapest way for current Windows XP users to get a legal copy of Vista is to buy the upgrade version of Home Basic, which is $99. But sure you don't want the cheapest version.
3. Vista Needs a New PC
To get full value from Vista, you're probably going to want to buy a new, Vista-optimized PC. Many of the benefits of Vista require hardware your current PC doesn't have.
4. Vista Is Time-Consuming
Installing any new operating system is time-consuming. Buying Vista now, and installing it on old hardware, means doing additional, time-consuming tasks--possibly an additional day or two. Why? Chances are, you'll have to hunt down, install, and troubleshoot new drivers for your old peripherals and system components.
5. Windows XP Isn't Obsolete
Windows XP--after years of service patches and strong, industrywide support--is a solid, well-understood, and highly functional operating system. And it will continue to be well supported. Microsoft itself has committed to at least seven more years of XP support, and even plans a Service Pack 3 next year.
6. Vista May be the Best Reason Yet to Buy a Mac
