Vista the WINNER

Everyone has read those "Vista vs Linux" and similar articles. In most of the cases the clear winner is the rival to Vista or I general we can say Windows always looses. Hmmm... Sounds true, doesn't it??? Well its just like the text book. You read something but when you come to the field you find something else.

Vista is clearly the winner in the actual world. Reason? Well there are many. The guys who write against windows aren't many. Most people have to keep windows because of the compatibility issue. So, chances are that, people who write against windows, use windows. Wine can't yet run all the applications of windows and so it is always safer to have Windows for everyone.

So you will say, more and more people are switching from window over to linux??? Agreed. But just consider the number who are just starting to use computers for the first time. They all use windows, right??? A kid always has his first learned operating system as windows. So when anyone sees a windows desktop they see a familiar screen and immediately the term user-friendly comes into play. Even though linux has become considerably user-friendly but who has got the time to see that???

"Vista copied", is a familiar term. It copied from Mac, from Linux and from God-knows-where. So what??? See the brighter side. This is what I got as reply from a professor when I said the exact same thing. "So what, now Vista has got the features of all the operating systems. So why shall I go for others, when i find it in vista." i wont comment anything on it. Just leave you to think about it and give your own comments.
