Windows Vista is a rumored to be a resource hog and will be loaded with the maxium amount of DRM known to mankind that will require obtaining a certificate and license for virtually every activity. And although Microsoft Corp. has yet to finalize the minimum requirements for a PC to run Vista, it is unlikely to run the Aero Glass Graphics on anything with intergrated video. Personally I don't care because I don't use Windows for anything except Tax Software and for that I still have a box that runs Windows 2000. I much prefer Linux and FreeBSD but I am thinking about moving to MAC for convenience. But, since most gaming has now moved to consoles and no one really cares very much about a fancy user interface, ( I am more interested in getting things done ) do you think that Windows Vista will force a migration to alternative operating systems? Or do you think that most companies and home users will stay with 2K or XP until Microsoft stops supporting them and shuts them down?
