Bashing up Microsoft and Sony are favorite past time. Its fine as long as people actually use facts to do the bashing rather then let their person feelings get in the way. The things that you would be reading on the net would almost convince you not to upgrade to Vista , that it has been a flop etc etc. Actually, Vista has worked and it has already beat the records set by XP in sales.

'Microsoft says the company division where Vista resides saw a 67 percent increase in sales over the previous year. Of those who bought Vista, a full 71 percent opted for the higher priced versions of the operating system. Further still, Microsoft says that 85 percent of all Windows sales are Vista sales, which beats XP’s numbers from the same time period.'
