Vista doesn't need any DRM backlash to make it less appealing. I've yet to see any compelling feature that would make me want to replace an existing XP installation with it. 95 to 2K was an upgrade. Xp added a bit of polish to 2K and Vista seems to add a bit more polish. This many years to get this far? Oh boy, what a waste. I know MS, Nvidia and ATI engineers were analyzing and picking apart every feature of Mac OS X to flesh out the plans for Vista for quite a while, but they should have released something minor a few years ago and just kept building on that. As it stands they seem to do 1 or 2 minor service packs and that's about it.
