Ok i agree on OSX, it has a quite polished and aesthetic UI and it’s UI is very well designed except few things like application menu not attached to it etc.īut GNOME and KDE, i don’t think the UI is that nice.ġ. As I see it it doesn’t look too promising for Microsoft.ĭo you really believe that user experience in Linux or BSD is better than Windows? So, the interesting question is how will Vista compete a year or so from now. Upgrading from one version of a NT (i.e winXP) to another is a much smaller step that many people may not bother take These people had a lot to gain from upgrading.

Windows XP had the same problem by the way, that in spite of the fact that Microsoft got a lot of XP sales from people upgrading from win95 and win 98.

My guess is the XP will still be the most common OS for business use three years from now. This means that the uptake of Vista in the market will be quite slow.

People that actually decide to upgrade existing systems will often wait to do that upgradeuntil Microsoft have released a service pack or two.

I have too little experience of Vista to tell if he is right or wrong but judging from feature lists, screen shots and reviews, it is very close to what is offered by MacOS-X and modern Linux.Įven if Thurrott is right, and Vista actually is better than MacOS or every Linux distro you can download right now, will it be better than the Linux you can download in April, November,…?īoth Linux and MacOS evolve very fast and have frequent updates, while I guess that Vista will remain more or less the same for quite some time.Īs Mr Thurrott points out Vista is quite expensive, this means that many people will probably not upgrade existing windows installations, but rather get it when they buy a new computer.
