What improvements have Microsoft added to Vista? DX10 gaming, HD and
BluRay video playback (via HDCP and lots of DRM of course), cool
window animations and glassy effects. NONE of those should be used in
the average workplace and in fact if I were an IT administrator I
would say they are an argument AGAINST installing Vista. The added
DRM "features" to the audio and video subsystem is already causing all
sorts of unforeseen "glitches". The Aero desktop just means that you
have to go out and add either lots of new video cards and/or RAM
and/or new machines. And the new interface means that users that were
just getting used to the old interface are now lost again. All of
that means tons more support calls and lots of frustration for your IT
staff.
Well said.
