Why Vista is Doomed, the Definitive List

Here is the definitive and authoritative list as to why Vista is doomed and Apple and Linux will soon take a big dip into Microsoft's market share.

1. It's expensive
2. It doesn't offer features promised that would have made it a contender, in essence, it's too little too late.
3. Many home and business computers won't be able to run it, cutting a huge slice out of their market share.
4. Its 5,000 different versions will leave users shocked and confused as to which one is right for their needs.
5. Dell, the world's biggest PC corporation is now giving users the option to not have Windows pre-installed on their computer.
6. Linux is free and is all the time getting new features and programs that make a switch beneficial to the uncertain user.
7. Apple is hip with the young crowd and the early adopters, meaning that Vista won't be as well received with them.
8. Security is an issue and probably won't be fixed for a while to come.
9. Even if your computer can run it, many features that are graphically intensive won't be runnable or will run slowly.

Why Apple and Linux Will Kill Vista

Because my last post touched upon why Vista is doomed, I wanted to do a more in depth post on why Apple and Linux will kill it.

Apple isn't the main reason why Vista is doomed, but it does contribute to it. With its slew of hilarious commercials and the iPod it will cut into Vista's market share but not that much because you can load Vista onto one any way (I think).

Actually the company that has really killed Vista is Dell. By giving users the option to opt out of Windows, they have opened up a whole new market for Linux which is cheaper and more secure than Windows. Linux will gain market share steadily while Windows loses it, and finally it will culminate in Microsoft leaving the operating system game altogether, at least for the time being.

Vista was too expensive and too late to be a success.
What do you think?

Another 4 Reason Why Vista is Doomed

Here are another 4 reasons why Vista is doomed:

1. Its five flavors are confusing and do not lend themselves to easy purchasing
2. It doesn't provide enough new security features and other features to make it worth its price tag.
3. Increased competition from Apple and Linux will stifle growth especially now that Dell is selling computers that do not have Windows preinstalled.
4. It doesn't deliver on many promised features so that it could ship earlier.
