Acer outlook not so sunny after all

For Once, the public examines correctly!

The public has examined and analyzed the choices correctly.

Vista from a security and interface perspective is superior to XP.

But the public won't universally pay the price, low performance and scant driver support.

Linux and Mac's though arguably better OS's just aren't the mainstream. Users have Operating systems to run applications and Windows applications are, for the most part the applications people want to run.

MS has been hyping Direct X 10... there is nothing written to DX10 that anyone wants.

This all could change, but till it does, XP will be the OS of choice for the vast majority of users.

How did we all end up with Windows?

If Not Windows, what else?

What would a group of even a household choose if it were not windows?

Even though in my home I have windows on the 4 pc's that are used reqularly, I'm running 3 different versions of Windows. XP Pro on 2, Vista Home on a new laptop and XP Pro 64 on a new gaming machine.

What would I run to replace Windows, and would it be more funtional and less devergant that 3 versions of windows?
