Top Ten Reason to Not Upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista

Microsoft Windows Vista is the highly awaited version of Windows after Windows XP. It's highly awaited for two reasons – because each Windows version has progressively added something new for the consumers, and because each one has some vulnerability making it easy prey and many times money for spyware/adware/viruses and hackers. So while the consumers wait for Microsoft Windows Vista, so do the hackers. As such, it shouldn't be very hard to guess why I personally would advise against upgrading to Microsoft Windows Vista. However, the reasons why I think Microsoft Windows Vista is not the best option to go with are more than just one. Hopefully you'll find this guide useful and will have you think twice before shelling out more money on Microsoft Windows Vista.

Here are the top ten reasons to not buy Microsoft Windows Vista:

10. It's Microsoft. Yes, it's a lame reason, and that's why it's number ten. But Microsoft's history is plagued with many issues in their products, especially when released, and though I don't hate Microsoft, caution is necessary when getting something with the MS on it.

9. Microsoft Windows Vista is irritating – You know how seems cool in the beginning becomes bothersome very quickly? That's exactly the case with Microsoft Windows Vista. With endless advice from the OS, and all the automatic stuff that you're just informed of, Microsoft Windows Vista is not something that an experienced user will like very much. Yes, it's great for people just being introduced to computers, but Microsoft Windows Vista is rather in-the-way for people who are already well versed with computers. On top of that, it's harder to get in and tinker with the settings manually which makes life miserable for someone like me who likes to know EVERYTHING in my machine and not just the surface.

8. It's expensive – Even in a consumer driven society that we live in, Microsoft Windows Vista might make some people reconsider with it's high costs. Throwing away $300 on a OS is not what most people are okay with, and neither should you.
