Vista is fantastic!
I bought a Vista laptop with full aero glass and I have never been more pleased. I knew as soon as Vista was released it would be picked at and criticized for everything, so i think all your negative/bias comments (and this article itself) are typical cheap shots at an extremely good product.
The aero glass is awsome and everything looks soooo nice, and even just checking my email is a nice experience. Vista is not slow, in fact i have NO delays in doing ANYthing that i do. i dont know how many megahertz or ram or memory or resolution it has, i dont care! I bought a laptop to use and actually get work done and Vista has let me do that perfectly and looks beautiful at the same time.
I dont know what everyone is complaining about, Vista is excellent and I recommend it to everyone. It really looks after its user in every way possible. Dont stuff around worrying about hardware specs, just buy a laptop that supports vista aero glass and you will not be dissappointed.
