APC's Ten Reasons Against Buying Vista
APC Magazine has released an article talking about the ten reasons not to buy Vista.
Those reasons include the fact that is isn't necessary as XP does everything Vista does and any of the advanced features for games, don't have any games written yet to take advantage of them. The cost is also a reason and the fact that in Australia the cost is considerably higher than the US. The hardware upgrade requirements are mentioned along with the lack of support for many drivers including Creative's EAX for 3-D sound as well as many software applications having problems in Vista including the Firefox browser. Most importantly is the fact that it is a target of many virus and malware creators looking to exploit the OS.
