Re: Vista Worth It?

Well obviously that video is all in jest.... and anyway i did state that i didn't want to sound like the usual MS basher...!

I just don't think Vista is really that much of a step up from XP and for the time being it's most definitely not an essential upgrade.

History of the GUI according to wikipedia Make of it what you will in terms of 'borrowing' and expanding , but Xerox were definitely first.

Edit: reading the link I provided, make that earlier, rather than first :)
