Additionally, WMP 11 and IE 7 are installed out of the box.”Ĭomparable features to these have been standard in free OS’s such as Linux and BSD for many months now.

“Apart from security, the “typical consumer” still gets everything they got with XP Home plus highly visible features such as instant searching, DirectX 10, virtual folders, the new Windows Explorer, sidebar/widgets, Windows Mail, DVD maker, Calendar, Meeting Space, parental controls, and speech recognition and synthesis. That would help us and them to save a few bucks. They might as well as stick to their older hardware and the older 16/32 bit Windows versions that require fewer hardware resources.Īcer and others might start selling Windows compatible hardware without shipping Windows with it. If Unixes and clones do not represent a solution because they are thought to be more difficult to use than windowish OS’s (which is getting largely false as Windows is getting bulky), the fact remains the vast majority of home users aren’t going to be needing Vista anyway. And I’m one of those people who have always complained about Apple selling overpriced stuff.

If Microsoft is going to sell heavily downgraded versions of Vista as an entry-level product, then a usable, responsive and full featured Vista version plus the hardware on which to run it will cost more than a Mac. The real hardware requirements for all Windows versions have always been a lot higher than the official ones (from Windows 95 to XP). I realize that the medium-term viability of such a scenario would depend on when exactly (those in the know could tell me) Apple is likely to drop PPC support, but such support may be long enough to allow me to ride the backwash of the first Vista wave with impunity – and I think I would recommend to friends and family to start going this way too.īy no means a fanboy (my fondness for PCBSD notwithstanding) of any sort nor an intrinsic Windows-basher, just for the record!! Most folk will not be paying the full retail price of Windows, it’s true, but looking at the retail price of OSX and the cost of still good but not current Macs combined at least has me convinced that the next move after Vista will be OSX. In other words, I feel that the way Vista is being introduced, and the question of DRM, not to mention the licensing conditions attached to Windows, and the more prevalent security issues will make OSX a much more attractive alternative at this point. I take your point about *our* being able to choose what we want, but most people are not really aware (this is not invoking the ‘Joe User’ argument, since I think we’d mostly agree that on average there isn’t much awareness of alternatives to Windows “Out There”), and most things called ‘computers’ come with Windows to the extent that it’s pretty incontrovertible to assert that the terms are more or less synonymous for the regular consumer…not much choice there, in that sense.
