Windows Vista

We don't like it and you probably won't either!

Windows Vista looks like a Mac - but without the immunity to viruses and spyware. While Mac's OSX is fast and efficient -- and gets better and faster with each new version, Windows Vista is quite the resource hog. Many current PCs lack the hardware requirements to run the advanced features (the Mac-like look and feel functions) of Windows Vista. In fact, most computers being sold today don't meet Microsoft's requirements for proper perfofrrmance. Download the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to see how yours rates.
