The Beautiful Impending Doom of My Windows Vista MonsterAuthored by Scott Goldberg on January 18, 2007 - 8:19am.
Readying myself for Windows Vista over the last few weeks has felt like the coming of a newborn: I’ve done loads of research, read the opinions of those who’ve tried it, and even decided a new computer was necessary to carry the enormous burden Vista will bring. The decision was made no easier by PC Magazine’s extensive coverage, which included as many reasons to invest in Vista as reasons not to. It turns out I’m a sucker for strong language, however, because John Clyman’s words offered the final tipping point: “If you're buying a new consumer PC this spring, it probably makes sense to get Vista. Soon, there won't be much of a choice; according to Microsoft's support life cycle, retail PC buyers will have only a year after Vista's release to buy Windows XP.” Yachtzee! Carrying the burden of a 5-year-old laptop on my desk meant that to have this bundle of joy, I would need to move from my studio bachelor pad to an overly expensive 2-bedroom suburban palace.
