What Vista needs is a REASON to upgrade, not more Hype

What Vista really needs is ONE good reason for people to upgrade. It needs to be faster (it's not), more stable (it's not), or support some new hardware, peripheral or program (it does not), or at least support the same peripherals that XP does (it does not). In fact, I have just listed four good reasons NOT to upgrade to Vista, and those are all based only on my own experience with it!

What it doesn't need is more empty hype. But, if that's the only gun you've got, then I guess you have to shoot it.
