Vista doesn't have any significant added value compared to XP but it introduces some potential sources of incompatibility with XP (ex. directX10). It already comes with incompatibility with some hardware ;) For people who have XP, there is no point in changing. The same goes for office pack, no significant added value. The price is not worth the benefit. By trying to force people to buy Vista with FUD about incompatibilities with prior version, Microsoft is in fact pushing people to try and go for Ubuntu or other equivalent free Linux distribution. The only thing that keeps me using windows (XP) is the Visual C++ IDE which has no equivalent in term of quality in the linux realm, and some games that only work on Windows. I hope this changes.
