Why i have no interest in Vista??

I Was one of very few lucky guys who got chance of experiencing Microsoft new operating system Vista on its release to the market for beta testers. After its release IT geeks found lot of bugs, errors and other user limitation on Vista. There has been lot of talk lately surrounding the limitations Microsoft has introduced Vista.

I found Vista is not attractive to me in either ways when I have number of other alternatives such as Linux, Windows XP, Mac, etc. The following bullet points will explain why I was not interested in this new release.

1. Vista has onerous product activation.

2. It does not allow Vista Home Basic and Home Premium editions to run as either host or guest operating systems for companies.

3. Vista introduced quiet large number of bugs when it was released, and it is still threatened with attacks, security loopholes. Also yet Microsoft didn't released service pack ( SP2 will be released on June)

4. It requires too much hardware. They will require a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB of main memory, 128 MB of memory and a graphics card that supports Vista's new graphics interface, called Windows Aero.

5. Windows Vista cost too much for normal guy. Also compared to Windows XP + Service pack Vista cost more or the same in full version and upgraded version.

Windows Vista Home Premium $299
Windows Vista Home Basic $259
