Whether it's because of Vista's confusing array of versions, its hefty hardware requirements, its driver issues or its invasive security features, users are resisting the upgrade to Vista and considering other options, from Mac OS X to Linux to just sticking with Windows XP, thank you very much. Never has a Microsoft operating system been greeted with such a lack of enthusiasm from consumers and businesses alike. While Mac OS, OS/2, Linux and many other desktop operating systems have all had their devotees over the years, the truth is that the majority of home and business users have simply used the current version of Windows as a matter of course. No matter how fierce the language or convincing the arguments, however, these battles began to seem somewhat irrelevant to regular working stiffs. As of this writing, that has not happened yet. I switched to a Mac and will NEVER go back to a Windows machine until I see that Microsoft has changed their ways. Since the dawn of time - or, at least, the dawn of personal computers - the holy wars over desktop operating systems have raged, with each faction proclaiming the unrivaled superiority of its chosen OS and the vile loathsomeness of all others. I had been a Windows user since the start of the PC revolution but in 2008 that all changed with my overflowing frustrations with the Windows OS.
